"We can move a slider, for age, gender, BMI, and height," says Hu. Changing those inputs has automatic knock-on effects for hidden factors such as bone density (which can decrease in the elderly and lead to greater injury), and internal organ geometry.
By the time men reach age 25, bone density can vary as much as 30percentt.
Bone density can be measured in different bones using radiologic techniques.
[With hormone therapy, most] measures of physical strength minimize, muscle mass decreases, bone density decreases, and [transgender women] become fairly comparable to [cisgender] women in their musculature.

Treatment is limited to 6 months because it can decrease bone mineral density.
Higher doses of levothyroxine are more likely to be associated with iatrogenic hyperthyroidism, 36 59 which can decrease bone quality 22 and bone mineral density, 60 leading to a higher risk of fracture.
Antiresorptive agents decrease the number, activity, and life span of osteoclasts by restoring bone density by decreasing remodeling of bone.
No sunlight means lack of Vitamin D which can cause Rickets; where your limbs deform into abnormal lengths and shapes and Osteoporosis; where your bone density decreases leading to frequent and nasty fractures.
This resolves the paradox of increased subchondral bone density relative to decreased bone mineralization and stiffness in late OA.
