And so you can get data that way.
But also imagine these companies like WholeLogic, these massive imaging companies that have DEXA scanners, they own all that data, right?
So they have their own internal database of all of these DEXA scans of different populations because they have all the inputs that go into it too, right?
But that is still the general population.
So yes, sedentary, poor nutrition, like all of the things that we would expect to see in the general population.
I think it's more than a grain of salt.
I think it's important to understand where you are compared to your population.
One of the terms I used to use more than I use it now, but is this concept of aim for optimal, right?
Like we don't want to be average.
We want to aim for optimal, meaning it's good to know where you are compared to the population in which you live.
But where do you want to be in that?
Do you want to be one standard deviation above two standard deviations above?
I would vote for probably more.
Interesting question.
It's bone-specific?
So what it is, the mechanism is parathyroid hormone, which is counterintuitive because a parathyroid tumor or elevated parathyroid hormone actually causes bone loss.
But if you pulse it, that's a very abnormal way of doing it or non physiologic way of doing it.
But if you pulse it daily injection of parathyroid hormone or these these analogs, then you see tremendous bone growth.
So it is actually very specific to bone.
Yeah, so growth hormone, I've not seen good data for.
