In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The tape measure has to bend around your waist, so it needs to be soft. Place the measuring tape directly against your skin about 4 inches (10 cm) below your belly button. Go around the back of your body and back to the front to measure your waist. You'll find many stores use this measurement.  If you're not measuring against you're skin, you won't get an accurate measurement. Keep track of these measurements on a piece of paper. Your natural waist is actually a bit higher, just slightly above your belly button. However, most jeans fit lower. With your legs shoulder-width apart, measure from your foot to your crotch on the inside of your leg. If you need to, ask someone you trust to help you. Measure from where you like your jeans to fall on your foot. You'll see this measurement often, especially in men's sizes.  For instance, if you like your jeans a bit long, measure from the bottom of your foot. Try not to bend to read the measurement. Instead, use a mirror or mark with the finger holding the measuring tape. If you're struggling to hold the measuring tape in place, try using adhesive tape to secure one end to your ankle while you hold the other at your crotch. Some jeans will also have this measurement. Wrap the tape measure around your hips where they are the widest. Make sure the tape measure isn't lifting up or drooping in the back. You won't see this measurement as often, but you can still use it if you're measuring jeans before trying them on. Wrap the tape measure around your skin where your thighs are the thickest. Only take a measurement for one thigh; you don't need to do both. If one is slightly thicker, take the measurement for that thigh. This measurement also isn't very common. Try not to pull your measuring tape too tight or you can give yourself an inaccurate thigh measurement and wind up in an uncomfortable pair of jeans. The tape should be snug, but you should still be able to slip one finger underneath. Stretch a tape measure from just behind your crotch line up and over the front of your pelvis to your waist. For women, this is around the belly button; for men, usually an inch or two or a couple of centimeters below. It can be helpful to wear a belt for the front rise measurement to give yourself an indication of where your jean waist would lie. You won't see this measurement as much, but sometimes stores use it to define how high or low the jeans sit. If you need to measure the back rise, do the same thing going the opposite direction. In women's jeans, look at the waist, which will be the best indicator of size. You may also use the inseam measurement. For men, you'll use both the length and waist measurement when finding a size on a size chart. Note that sizes may run a little small or large, so it's always best to check the actual chart. When shopping online, use the brand's size chart to find a good fit for that brand. If you need to see sizes in different brands, look at this chart: http://sev.h-cdn.co/assets/cm/15/08/54e782633993b_-_size-chart.pdf.

Get your hip measurement by measuring around your hips. Take your thigh measurement around one thigh. Check your front rise from your crotch to your belly button. Use your measurements to find a pair of jeans using size charts.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Even if you have a normal or healthy bone density score, you may wish to discuss ways to protect and promote bone health through diet, exercise, and calcium supplements or multi-vitamins.  Men and women ages 18 to 50 need an average of 1000mg of calcium and 1000 to 4000 IU of vitamin D each day. Women over 50 and men over 70 should up their calcium intake to 1200mg per day through supplements or a targeted diet. Get calcium from supplements or green leafy vegetables, low-fat dairy products, canned fish with bones, and fortified juices or cereals. Vitamin D is necessary for your body to absorb calcium; your daily needs can be met through sunshine and supplements or fortified foods such as dairy or orange juice. If you have relatives with osteoporosis or who frequently experience bone fractures, or if you are otherwise at risk for bone density loss, it is important to discuss bone health with a professional while you are still healthy. Be sure to reach your recommended daily intake each day and participate in regular exercise to promote bone health. With early steps toward bone density maintenance, many individuals can prevent osteoporosis in old age. If your Z-score is very low or if you only received a peripheral screen that indicated bone density loss, discuss what type of further testing you may need.  If you have very low bone density, your doctor may recommend tests for hyperparathyroidism or another bone scan to confirm osteoporosis. Hyperparathyroidism may result from too much calcium in the blood or a second condition causing a calcium deficit in your whole body. Depending on your dietary habits and other health information, your physician may check for vitamin or mineral deficiencies.
Summary: Ask how to prevent bone density loss. Discuss your bone health before it is necessary. Ask whether further testing may be necessary.
