How to interpret the output
Body-composition measures depend on method and hydration. Look for trends instead of interpreting a single reading in isolation.
Repeat measurements using similar conditions when monitoring trends. Numerical predictions can vary with input accuracy, measurement method and individual circumstances.
Limitations and responsible use
DEXA scan interpretation requires clinical context. Abnormal findings should be discussed with your physician.

What does the DEXA Scan Interpreter estimate?
Interpret DEXA scan results: regional body fat, lean mass, bone density, and asymmetry with actionable insights.
Which information do I need for this bodycomp tool?
Provide Total body fat %, Total lean mass (kg), Android fat %, Gynoid fat %, Bone density T-score, and any additional fields shown above. Use your own relevant measurements and the units indicated in each field.
How should I interpret the result?
Body-composition measures depend on method and hydration. Look for trends instead of interpreting a single reading in isolation. Compare results with your goals and other relevant observations rather than using a single output to make a major decision.
