What's included
7 deliverables in this treatment
- Bone mineral density (BMD) measurement — spine and hip
- T-score and Z-score comparison to reference populations
- Total body fat percentage and distribution
- Lean muscle mass measurement — total and per region
- Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) estimation
- Regional body composition breakdown (arms, legs, trunk)
- Comparison report if previous scan available
DEXA scan with physician consultation for osteoporosis risk evaluation and prevention planning.
About this treatment
Integrated osteoporosis risk evaluation combining DEXA bone density measurement with clinical risk factor questionnaire (FRAX tool). Calculates 10-year fracture probability based on BMD results plus age, sex, BMI, prior fractures, family history, smoking, alcohol use, and glucocorticoid exposure.

- Every 6–12 months for tracking
Who is this for?
Anyone interested in understanding their body composition beyond what a scale can tell you. Fitness enthusiasts and athletes tracking muscle gain and fat loss over time. People on weight management programs who want objective progress measurements. Those over 50 or with risk factors for osteoporosis wanting bone density screening. Longevity-focused individuals establishing baseline measurements for body composition optimization.
Preparation required
No fasting required. Wear comfortable, lightweight clothing without metal components (zippers, belt buckles, underwire). Remove all jewelry and metal accessories. Stay well-hydrated — dehydration can slightly affect body composition readings. Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours before the scan, as fluid shifts can influence results. The scan itself takes approximately 10–20 minutes and is painless. You'll lie still on an open table while the scanner arm passes over you.
