are asian bones...?

Question

now i hardly believe this... do asian bones have less bone marrow? my friend did a test on for pairs of one hispanic and one asian (each pair has the same porportions) they had the same BMI and body fat percentage, but the asians weighed 4-7 pounds less in each pair. my friend thinks that the hispanics have a higher bone density compared to the asians...

if the bones happen to be the SAME size- would the asian bones be lighter?

Answer 1

this just means that Asians are smaller.

"BMI and body fat percentage" are relative indicators, weight is an absolute one.

Answer 2

Some hispanics, especially mexicans, have the aztec genetic line which is nearly identical to "asians" (orientals) from which they descended. Bone density is often based in large part on exercise and age could also have something to do with it. Old women often lose bone density, for example so it is not a big enough sample to make any conclusions in my opinion.

Whites do indeed have large numbers of sebaceous glands which are almost absent in some orientals so I can say by experience that yes we whites are stinky but I'll try to work on it.

Answer 3

Generally, Asians are shorter in height and weight than Caucasians, Hispanics, and African decent. However, as of late, that is not much of a case as there is a rise of Asians becoming just as tall and heavy as everyone else.

Answer 4

I'm no small asian I can assure you of that.

Answer 5

It could well be true. I know we are more at risk for such things as osteoporosis.

Answer 6

are whites stinky?
