Had a dexa test.
I am 61 and bone loss, muscle loss worry me. I know I am way overweight and wanted to establish a baseline.
The machine generates an image of my skeleton, excellent, no osteoporosis. Muscle mass was excellent.
Fat though...you don't see it with your eyes but the scanner sees it. And prints it out in bright colour. I am going to need a lot of work on that. It shows visceral fat, and fat crowding my lungs and heart. I hope reducing that will make my cardio better.
The dexa scanner is an amazing machine. It calculated my weight to within a tenth of a pound compared to my scales at home.
