MEASURING VISCERAL FAT WITH DXA

See what people are saying:

“Sometimes body composition change will happen before weight change, and that’s motivational for individuals … I remember people in our studies who would be so unmotivated because their weight didn’t change, and they literally would drop out of studies. But then, [with DXA], we could be like, ‘Look—your lean mass has gone up, your fat mass has gone down, your bone density is good … these are all positive changes.’”

—Dr. Michael Ormsbee, Florida State University

“Initially I thought this weight loss journey was going to take a very long time, up to a year to achieve, and now I realize that my journey is NOT as long as I initially thought. And I think I can achieve that in a much quicker time frame now as a result of the DXA scan.”

—Kim, MeasureUp

“The visceral fat number is huge. That’s super helpful. [Horizon DXA system] measures the android/gynoid ratio for us, and pairing that with visceral fat measurements is just a really helpful indication of if there’s any increased health risk for a client.”

—Krysten McCaughey, Dietitian, Exos
