Shortly after her DEXA scan in May, Jan came to SWR in August 2022.
She tried the medication route for a short time but it made her horribly ill.
Her follow up DEXA scan in May 2024 revealed that her TOTAL SPINE BONE MINERAL DENSITY (BMD) went from .818 to .877; a 7.2% increase while her FEMUR NECK BMD jumped from .610 to .674: a 10.5% increase.
Cathy's case is interesting. When she came to SWR in August 2023 she was battling EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency).
Throughout the next year Cathy continued to become stronger. However, she experienced uncontrollable weight loss as she lost a large amount of body fat.
This made the area of TOTAL HIP measurement on her 2024 follow up DEXA scan much smaller.
This complicated interpretation of her results so we had to calculate relative changes as a percentage of the area measured.
In one year Cathy's FEMUR NECK BONE MINERAL CONTENT (BMC) AND BONE MINERAL DENSITY (BMD) increased by 19% and 12.7% respectively. Also, the BMD of her FEMUR NECK as a percentage of her TOTAL HIP BMD increased by 11%.
Ann came to SWR in March 2021. After 7 months of loading her bones the follow up dexa report in October 2021 showed the following:
Since 2018 her SPINE BONE MINERAL DENSITY (BMD) increased from .924 to 1.009; a 9.2% increase.
Her FEMUR BMD increased from .585 to .650; an 11.1% improvement.
Ann also became a member of the 1,000LB Leg Press Club.
