What is a Body Composition Analysis scan?

At The Group, we offer Body Composition Analysis using DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry), which is a fast, non-invasive, and highly accurate scan for measuring body composition. You will receive detailed insights into your body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, and more. This scientifically validated scan goes beyond surface-level measurements, offering a deep understanding of your overall health. Other body fat composition tests that use electrical impedance (scales), skin fold measurements (calipers), and water displacement have a much lower level of accuracy and specificity.

Results: Total Body results are calculated automatically for BMD, fat tissue, and lean tissue for the total body and subregions. Customized regions of interest can also be analyzed for BMD and body composition. You will be given your results to take home with you to review on your own or share with a healthcare provider or another professional for interpretation.

Why Choose DEXA for Your Body Composition Analysis scan?

DEXA is considered the GOLD STANDARD for Body Composition Analysis because no other test offers the same level of accuracy when measuring body fat, lean muscle mass, and bone mass. Unlike your bathroom scale, which only shows your total weight, a DEXA scan provides a detailed breakdown of what your body is made of, helping you better understand your overall health and fitness.

Body composition analysis using DEXA has quickly become the preferred method due to its speed, ease of use, and exceptional accuracy and precision. It provides highly reliable measurements of body fat, lean tissue, and bone mineral content, making it an invaluable tool for tracking progress, optimizing performance, and supporting long-term health goals.

Key advantages include:

• High Precision/Accuracy: Considered superior to, or a "gold standard" replacement for, methods usch as underwater weighing (hydrodensitometry) or skinfolds. 
• Segmental Analysis: Capable of assessing body composition by region (arms, legs, trunk).
• Track Your Progress Over Time: Whether you're an athlete, on a weight-loss journey, or focused on maintaining optimal health, the DEXA scan provides consistent, reliable data for tracking changes.
  
• Enhance Your Health Strategy: Use the scan's detailed insights to make informed decisions about your diet, exercise, and overall wellness plan.
• Precise Body Composition Analysis: Get a clear breakdown of fat, lean tissue, and muscle mass for a complete picture of your fitness.
• Bone Health Insights: While not diagnostic, the DEXA scan can provide a whole-body bone density estimate, offering additional information to discuss with your healthcare provider.
• Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Estimate: Gain insights into how many calories your body burns at rest, which can guide effective weight management strategies.
