The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
The T-core is comparing you to the young healthy individual. So in other words, for someone who's older, the zcore is always going to be more favorable than the t-core. Does that make sense? Yeah. Yeah. Because you're comparing to a 30-y If you're 60, you want to compare yourself to not only a 30-year-old, but also other 60 year olds.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

So a zscore of zero means you are right in the middle of the distribution. And if you're in the middle of that distribution, it means you are you have a higher bone mineral density than 50% of people and a lower bone density than 50% of people. If your zcore is + one, it means you are one standard deviation above the mean, which means you are you have a higher bone density than 82.5% of the population and a lower bone density than 17 1.5% of the population. If your zcore is plus.2, two, it means you are two standard deviations above the mean, which means you're at 97.5% you're you're higher than 97.5% of the population.
