Does weight depend on bone structure?

Not really. Bone weight depends on how much a person”s entire body weighs. Bones make up around 15\% of a person”s total body weight. Remember muscle mass weighs more than the same volume of fat and lean muscles make you look thinner (so if you have lots of muscles you may weigh more but look thinner).

Why do people of the same height and weight look different?

Muscles are around 18\% more dense than fats. Meaning one person can have less fat and more muscles, weigh the same but look differently from someone with the opposite ratios because fats are less dense and require more volume to weigh the same as muscles.

Why can two people with identical height and shape have two different BMIS?

If you think you’ve gained too much weight or are too skinny, a doctor can help you know if it’s normal for you or whether you do have a weight problem. At each visit, your doctor measures your height and weight and plots your BMI. He or she uses those measurements over time to tell whether you’re growing as expected.

Does bone weight increase with weight?

No independent association between weight gain and forearm BMD was found. Bone mineral density (BMD) is positively associated with body weight, and low body weight is a risk factor of fractures.

How Does height affect weight?

body weight has increased as the cube of height increase for different generations. From one generation to the other, weight has increased at a rate of 1 to 2 kg per centimeter of height. Most scientists believe that this growth process cannot continue indefinitely.

Does height make you weigh more?

Yes. There’s a strong correlation between height and weight. In general, weight increases as the cube of the increase in height. In other words, a 10\% increase in height is tied to a 31\% increase in weight.

Can 2 people weigh the same but look different?

You absolutely can look different whilst weighing the same. All else being equal, (height, gender, age etc) its all about body composition. The higher the body fat percentage, the ‘bigger’ the person will look. The more lean tissue a person has, the smaller or leaner they will look even when the weight is the same.

Does BMI account for breast size?

Results: Breast volumes ranged from 48 to 3100 mL. Although breast volume was not significantly affected by age, it was significantly affected by BMI, with the breast volume of overweight and obese women being two-to-three times greater than women with normal BMI’s.

Is BMI inaccurate?

BMI is not an accurate predictor of health because it does not account for body fat percentage or body fat distribution. Measurements that are more accurate than BMI at predicting health outcomes include blood pressure, waist circumference, and cholesterol levels.

Does bone structure change with weight gain?

2013). While higher body weight can increase mechanical loading on bone and, as a consequence, increase bone mass or alter microarchitecture to improve bone quality, it also has the potential to increase the magnitude of atypical loads that are often responsible for a fracture.

Does bone structure affect body shape?

What factors affect your body shape? Some elements of your body type are determined by your bone structure. For example, some people have a curvier, rounder buttocks and curvature in their spine. Others may have wider hips, shorter legs, or longer torsos.
