bone density

[edit]

It is exactly what it says on the tin. Not idiomatic. -- Liliana 20:48, 6 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

This should be kept, it is an important medical term, used to describe the measurement of a person's bone strength. It is not well known for people that don't have arthritis, a great education, or are athletes.Westernstag 03:11, 7 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
I would keep this, especially as I have improved the definition. SemperBlotto 12:53, 7 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
Keep per our definition, and also Wikipedia, which says "This medical bone density is not a true physical "density", which would be measured in mass per cubic volume." Of course if both this and our definition are wrong, then I'll reconsider. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:08, 7 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
With the new definition I agree this can be kept, for reference the old definition said "the density of the bones", so yeah. -- Liliana 16:17, 7 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
