Why DEXA Scans Matter for Your Health and Fitness Goals
DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scans are one of the most accurate and trusted methods for assessing body composition. Unlike standard scales or BMI measurements, DEXA provides a detailed analysis of fat mass, lean muscle mass, and bone density—giving you a comprehensive picture of your physical health. Whether you're aiming to optimize athletic performance, track the effectiveness of a fitness or nutrition program, or monitor bone health, a DEXA scan offers precise, actionable insights. With this data, you can make informed decisions tailored to your specific health and wellness goals, ensuring progress is measured, meaningful, and aligned with your long-term objectives.
FAQS
What is a DEXA Scan
The DEXA uses small amounts of radiation to produce a whole picture of the body’s fat mass, lean mass and bone mass. In addition, the DEXA provides regional body fat results for the arms, legs, android (waist) and gynoid (hips), and can also do a reading for abdominal, or visceral, fat (depending on the machine). Visceral fat, or VAT, has been linked to metabolic disturbances, increased risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

How can I prepare for my DEXA?
- Wear comfortable clothes, such as gym attire.
- Do not wear any items with metal or hard plastic, such as buttons, zippers, jewelry, watches, hair clips, bras with metal clasps or underwires.
- Inform the test administrator if you have any metal in your body, such as a pin or replacement joint.
- No fasting required. Food and water intake has little to no impact on the accuracy of DEXA scan results.
- Please note that DEXA scans do subject you to small amounts of radiation. A whole body scan produces a level of radiation equivalent to flying by airplane from New York to California.
