Why do the DEXA Total Body Composition (TBC) scan? Most people rely on body weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circumference, bio-impedance (BIA) or other similar measures to assess fitness level. Although simple to calculate, these measures do not accurately measure your body composition or fitness level. With rising rates of obesity, diabetes, cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea, cholesterol, and other metabolic conditions, it is more important more than ever to look after your health reliably. With the DEXA scan you can get one of the most accurate measure of lean mass, basal metabolic rate, adipose tissue, muscle mass, visceral fat, and body symmetry among other helpful metrics. Research has shown that central fat, measured by android and Visceral Adipose Tissue is closely linked with obesity, diabetes, heart disease and stroke, and other metabolic diseases. By knowing your body makeup, you can tailor your fitness goals accordingly to live healthier and happier.
