Re: Fracture prevention (don't slip on ice)

[Guest guest]

Hi Aequalsz:

Hmmmmm. Does anyone know of a study showing fracture rates broken

(please excuse the pun) down by age, gender and BMI? My recollection

is that fracture rates are inversely related to BMI. I forget the

source, but it would be interesting to see the data to determine if

it really is true and how much difference weight makes.

Hello,

Don't remember any studies other than those posted on this board.

However I know that F = Ma and Weight is proportional to M, so that

with a constant 1 g load on one's body, extra weight is bound to

influence bone strength. I personally weight almost 300 pounds (at

least for a few seconds) when I'm doing squats so I figure my bones

may actually be getting stronger even though I'm trying to slim down a

bit more. I'm not too sold on the CRON influence on longevity but am

rather seeking low blood pressure, low cholesterol, a bit more

slimness, and going for a stronger skeletal system. You know

something along the lines of a healthy Neanderthal. Am anxiously

awaiting the latest CRON study results as to the affect on longevity

in humans. If positive I may opt for a bit less BMI.

I saw a recent report suggesting high impact aerobics was better for building

bone

mass than resistance work. I suspect a mix of different activities is best for

total health.

PS: I also recall something about a velocity squared term in considering kinetic

energy.
