this is the third machine in that study and would give me a z-score of around -1.1.

https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Women-femoral-neck-BMD-standard-values-DCS-900_tbl11_236104423

so, using this study as reference, i can construct z-scores of:

-0.87

-1.1

+ 0.78

for normal female reference values, which i'm going to use as a baseline because i'm estrogen dominant and it's the most applicable chemistry.

that suggests that i'm in a normal reference frame for women my age, relative to a reasonable concept of error.

but, i still want the calibration.
