Your osteoporosis diagnosis is scored against two different populations at once

The hip T-score is computed against a US survey of white women aged 20–29 measured in 1988–94; the spine T-score against whatever private database your scanner's manufacturer ships. The diagnosis is the worst of the two. A software update that changed no bone at all once moved 12 of 115 women into osteoporosis.

The Statin Trial Had Two Primary Endpoints. Only One Is in the Headlines.

STAREE cut major cardiovascular events by 30 per cent relative, 2.3 points absolute, in adults over 70. On disability-free survival — its other primary endpoint — it found nothing.

Obesity Marks Immune Cells for Years. No Study Shows Disease Follows.

The calcium formula everyone uses is not the one it cites

Corrected calcium is computed with a coefficient of 0.8 and attributed to Payne 1973 on virtually every clinical reference site. That paper's own abstract gives 1.0. The 0.8 and the metric 0.02 are the same number as each other, and both are 80.2% of what Payne published — and where 0.8 came from, we could not find out.

The Army stopped taping. The Marines did not.

Both services replaced the tape test with waist-to-height ratio in 2026 and then disagreed twice over. The Army set the line at 0.55 and rescinded every alternative, so there is nothing to appeal to. The Marines set 0.52 and kept the tape as a second stage. At average height the two limits sit two inches apart.

The kidney formula in your drug label came from seven data points

The 1976 equation that still decides anticoagulant doses was fitted to seven averaged points, drawn from 249 men after half the measurements collected were discarded. Its author wrote that down himself. The 0.85 multiplier applied to every woman's result has no female data behind it at all — and on at least one drug label, that factor decides eligibility in both directions.
