InBody Body Composition Analysis

Professional body composition measurement using InBody DSM-BIA technology - fat, muscle, water, BMI analysis.

A DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan is the clinical gold standard for measuring body composition and bone density. Using two low-dose X-ray beams at different energy levels, the scanner precisely distinguishes between bone, lean tissue (muscle), and fat — providing measurements far more accurate than scales, calipers, or bioelectrical impedance devices. The scan produces a detailed regional breakdown showing exactly where fat and muscle are distributed across your body (arms, legs, trunk), and estimates visceral adipose tissue (VAT) — the metabolically dangerous fat surrounding your organs that is strongly linked to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. For bone health, DEXA measures bone mineral density at the spine and hip — the sites most vulnerable to osteoporotic fractures. Results are expressed as a T-score (comparison to a healthy young adult) and Z-score (comparison to your age-matched peers). The World Health Organization uses DEXA T-scores to define osteopenia (bone loss) and osteoporosis. Early detection through DEXA screening allows for lifestyle and medical interventions before a fracture occurs. DEXA scans are increasingly popular in the longevity and fitness communities because they provide the most objective, reproducible measurement of body composition changes over time. Whether you're tracking the results of a training program, monitoring bone health as you age, or establishing a baseline for a health optimization protocol, DEXA gives you data that no other single test can match.
