The DEXA is a valuable tool for measuring not only bone density, but also body composition numbers like lean (muscle) mass and fat mass. It can also show you where lean and fat are stored as well as the amount of fat that you are holding in your mid-section which can lead to increased risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Learn how visceral fat and the android region (mid-section) are markers that we use at Bodymass to measure measure potential risk for heart disease and diabetes.

Learn why the DEXA is considered the Gold Standard of body composition testing and how it is an improvement over traditional testing methods like skin fold calipers and bioelectrical impedance.

Don’t “wait until you are in better shape” to get your DEXA and Resting Metabolic Rate test. The best time to do it is right now so that you can measure changes in lean muscle, fat and bone density as you improve your diet and exercise routine.
