DEXA Technology Overview
Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) provides the gold standard for body composition analysis, measuring fat, lean mass, and bone density.
Key Metrics Explained
-
Total Body Fat %: Overall fat percentage (healthy: men 10-20%, women 18-28%)
-
Visceral Adipose Tissue: Internal fat around organs (keep under 100cm²)
-
Lean Mass Index: Muscle mass relative to height (higher is generally better)
-
Bone Mineral Density: T-score above -1.0 is normal
Regional Analysis
DEXA shows fat distribution patterns:
-
Android (belly) vs Gynoid (hip) ratio
-
Arm and leg muscle symmetry
-
Trunk to limb fat ratios
Using Results for Goal Setting
-
Track changes every 3-6 months
-
Focus on trends rather than single measurements
-
Consider hydration status affects on results
