Dexa Scan Body Composition
What Is a Dexa Scan?
DEXA Scan gives you the most precise information about your body fat, muscle, and bone density, and lets you track changes in body density over time.
For anyone undergoing labs, weight-loss treatment, or hormone therapy, a DEXA scan is a key part of truly understanding fat, muscle, and bone density. This plays a major role in long-term health and longevity, especially for women as they age. It’s also a powerful tool for athletes and fitness enthusiasts who want accurate performance and body composition tracking.

Who Needs a Bone Density Scan?
Women’s Health
Women are four times more likely to develop osteoporosis due to lighter, thinner bones and longer lifespans. Asian and Caucasian women, especially those with a narrow build, are at higher risk. Bone density peaks at age 30 and decreases over time, making strength training, weight-bearing exercise, and sufficient calcium and vitamin D intake essential.
Men’s Health
Several risk factors have been linked to osteoporosis in men. After age 50, 1 in 4 men will experience an osteoporosis-related fracture. Risk factors include undiagnosed low testosterone levels, unhealthy lifestyle habits, and race, with white men at particularly high risk. However, all men can develop osteoporosis, making weight-bearing exercise, calcium, and vitamin D important.
