DXA Body Composition / Body Fat Test

The measurement of body fat is more accurate than body weight for assessing health. A person can have a lot of muscle, but be considered “over-weight” by many height/weight charts. The opposite can also be true – a person can have a lot of fat and little muscle and be “over-fat” but not overweight.

Too little body fat is linked to problems with normal, healthy functioning in both men and women. It can also lead to problems with reproduction in women. Too much body fat, especially when located around the abdomen, increases the risk of many diseases, including type II diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, and certain cancers. For many athletes, performance is improved with optimal body composition.

Invision Sally Jobe utilizes DXA (Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry) technology to assess your body composition. DXA technology is considered to be the gold standard. The instrument uses an X-Ray technique to look at the density of the body and can then estimate the amount of lean and fat tissue. The exam is precise, non-invasive, accurate and reliable.

By knowing your body fat percentage, and the range it falls in, you can take measures to improve your health and reduce your risk for various diseases.
