What Does a DEXA Scan Measure?
A DEXA scan provides a detailed breakdown of your body composition, including:
- Body fat percentage
- Lean muscle mass
- Bone mineral content
- Regional body composition
- Right vs. left side balance
- Arm, leg, trunk, and abdominal composition
- Android/Gynoid fat distribution ratios
Unlike BMI or a standard scale, DEXA scans help distinguish between fat loss, muscle gain, and changes in overall body composition.
This is especially valuable for:
- Weight loss tracking
- GLP-1 users
- Athletes
- Strength training programs
- Body recomposition goals
- Long-term health tracking
