Ponderosity
Definition:
(n.) The quality or state of being ponderous; weight; gravity; heaviness, ponderousness; as, the ponderosity of gold.
Example Sentences:

(12) Subjects were eligible at baseline and at one-year follow-up for participation in a medical examination in which the following target risk factors were measured: systolic and diastolic blood pressures, plasma total and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, serum thiocyanate, ponderosity index, triceps skinfold thickness, and postexercise pulse recovery rate.
(13) With increasing relative ponderosity, there were, however, increasing levels of total triglycerides and VLDL triglyceride.
(14) The study shows that change in ponderosity is associated with change in blood pressures; children whose ponderosity decreases relative to their peers usually exhibit a similar drop in their systolic and diastolic blood pressures, while children who gain in ponderosity show a similar gain in their blood pressures.
(15) These observations suggest that strategies to prevent the acquisition of excess ponderosity during adolescence may be useful in preventing adult hypertension.

(17) A family study was conducted in Muscatine, Iowa in 1984-1985 to evaluate the relation between ponderosity in children and coronary risk factor levels in these children and in their family members, and the genetic contribution to familial clustering of levels of ponderosity (body weight relative to height).
(18) At baseline, 1,234 students were eligible for the screening in which the following target risk factors were measured: systolic and diastolic blood pressures, ponderosity index, triceps skinfold thickness, postexercise pulse recovery rate, serum total and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and serum thiocyanate.
(19) Coefficients of linear regression and correlation for any pair of the different parameters (SBP-DBP and weight, SBP-DBP and height, SBP-DPB and ponderosity index) were all significantly positive for males, but not for females.
(20) This paper describes the association between longitudinal changes in blood pressure and changes in measures of ponderosity.
