Predictor

Hi

Caffeine and other predictors of bone density among pre - and perimenopausal women.

--- I'm not sure what is the meaning of the word "predictors" above?
  

Top answer

The [ incomplete ] sentence is poorly worded. Caffeine is not a predictor, but the use of it might be (I don't know, myself). A predictor is something that will indicate that something else is a future possibility.
