The Christmas ham.
And so in the middle of these images, which probably as I'm describing it, some of your listeners are going to say, hey, I've seen that picture because it's taken on a life of its own, Jonathan.
It's everywhere on the Internet.
But I love that it's so illustrated.
The first picture of the 40-year-old thigh.
shows a giant femur bone in the middle.
It's thick.
It's got a thick cortex.
Around that, on the top, are beautiful quadriceps.
Around the back are beautiful hamstrings.
And there's a very thin layer of peripheral fat, which shows up white in MRIs.
When we looked inside that muscle with special NIH software, we found that there was not much intramuscular adipose tissue or marbling.
These were not Wagyu beef.
These were lean, flank steak people.
And so we did that at every age group and compared it to sedentary people.
What happened?
So at 40, we have this gorgeous example of bone, muscle, and fat ratio.
Okay.
The second picture in the lineup is my control group, a group of sedentary people sat around at their desk for 35 years, hoping the time would be their friend.
And what we found was that the cortex of the bone in the middle was very thin, which represents osteopenia or osteoporosis.
