TL;DR: In this article, different types of anthropometric measurement error are reviewed, ways of estimating measurement error is critically evaluated, guidelines for acceptable error presented, and ways in which measures of error can be used to improve the interpretation of anthropometrical nutritional status discussed.

TL;DR: Ways are described in which measurement error can be used to assess the probability that differences in anthropometric measures across time within individuals are due to factors other than imprecision, which should allow increased precision of measurement, and improved interpretation of anthropometric data.

TL;DR: The results support the notion of a site‐specific response of bone to maximal loading from resistance exercise in that although the trochanter and intertrochanteric bone density was elevated by the resistance exercises undertaken, there was no effect on the femoral neck value.

TL;DR: The implementation of a simple public health regimen to prevent age‐related bone loss with calcium supplementation either by calcium tablet or by milk powder is supported and suggests a site‐specific effect of physical activity on bone density in addition to its possible effect to prevent fracture by maintenance of muscle strength and coordination.

TL;DR: Data suggest that an effect of reducing bone loss equivalent to that achieved by a daily dietary increase of 891 mg (22 mmol) Ca can also be achieved by halving daily sodium excretion.
