DEXA scanning at AsiaMedic measures bone mineral density for osteoporosis diagnosis and delivers a precise body composition analysis covering lean mass, fat mass, and visceral fat distribution — essential data for tracking biological age and musculoskeletal health.
About this treatment
Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) at AsiaMedic serves two distinct but complementary clinical purposes: bone mineral density (BMD) assessment for osteoporosis screening and fracture risk estimation, and body composition analysis for metabolic and longevity health tracking.
The bone mineral density scan focuses on the lumbar spine and proximal femur — the two sites most clinically relevant to osteoporotic fracture risk. Results are expressed as a T-score (comparison to a young healthy adult reference population) and a Z-score (age-matched comparison). A T-score below -2.5 at either site confirms osteoporosis by WHO criteria, while a T-score between -1.0 and -2.5 indicates osteopenia (low bone mass) — a precursor to…
The DEXA Body Composition Analysis, which forms part of the Longevity Screening Package, extends well beyond BMD to provide a full-body breakdown of fat mass, lean muscle mass, and bone mass by region (arms, legs, trunk, android, gynoid). The android-to-gynoid fat ratio and visceral adiposity index are particularly useful longevity biomarkers, as central fat accumulation is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, and…
