What a DEXA scan shows
A DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan is the gold standard for body composition. In one quick scan you see your body fat %, lean muscle by region, visceral fat and bone density. It's especially useful if you're on a GLP-1 like Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro, training for performance, or tracking healthy aging. Learn how to read every number on your DEXA report and why GLP-1 users should track muscle.
Many hospitals offer bone density DEXA only. If you want body fat, muscle and visceral fat numbers, book a whole-body composition scan through one of the bookable locations above.
