Fat Mass Index (FMI)
The Fat Mass Index (FMI) measures your body fat relative to your height, providing a more accurate assessment of body fat. It accounts for differences in body size, as fat mass proportions vary between taller and shorter people.
6.45 kg/m²
44/100 – compared to other 39 year old females
Fat Mass Index (FMI)
Optimal: 5 – 8 kg/m²Maintain balanced macronutrients and regular training.
This range supports healthy ageing by minimising fat-driven inflammation while preserving lean mass.Visceral Fat
Visceral fat is fat stored around your internal organs. While a small amount is normal, excess levels can increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. The NHS considers less than 100 cm² a healthy level, but for optimal long-term metabolic health, we recommend aiming for below 80 cm².
Your metabolic age reflects how your visceral fat compares with people of the same age and sex in our UK database

Staying in this range supports metabolic flexibility and lowers risk of insulin resistance with age.3D Body Scan Results
3D body scanning provides highly accurate and detailed measurements of body parameters, including circumferences, lengths, and volumes. This precision surpasses traditional measurement methods, allowing for more accurate tracking of changes in body composition over time.

Lean Mass
Your total lean mass and its comparison to other 39 year old females provides valuable insight into overall body composition and muscle health. Lean mass represents metabolically active tissue, including skeletal muscle, organs, and connective tissue.
Maintaining healthy lean mass supports physical performance, healthy ageing. Monitoring lean mass percentage, and ALMI helps assess muscle health and changes over time

Your Results
| Lean Mass Weight | 47.25 kg |
| Lean Mass Percentage | 69.6% |
Lean Mass in Arms & Legs (ALMI) 6.93 kg/m²
ALMI measures the amount of muscle in your arms and legs in relation to your height, allowing for meaningful comparisons between people of different body sizes. Values below 5.45 kg/m² indicate an increased risk of sarcopenia. Our longevity target is above 6.95 kg/m².
42/100 - compared to other 39 year old females
| Lean Mass Index (LMI) | 16.5 kg/m² |
| Lean Mass Index Percentile | 53 / 100 |
Lean Mass in Arms & Legs (ALMI)
Optimal: ≥ 6.95 kg/m²Increase your protein intake and consider regular resistance training.
Low lean mass in your arms and legs is a key marker for Sarcopenia, which accelerates biological ageing.Aim to gain 60 g of lean muscle before your next review.
Lean Mass Distribution
Your lean mass and how it is distributed throughout your body provides a valuable insight into muscle health, strength, and physical function. Assessing lean mass across your arms, legs, and trunk can help identify muscular imbalances, monitor training adaptations, and detect changes in muscle over time.
Low lean mass is associated with an increased risk of frailty, fractures, metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes, and reduced physical function with ageing.

Body Composition Age
Using BodyView's UK reference database of over 44,700 gold standard DEXA scans, BodyCompPro compares your body composition with age and sex matched adults to calculate four Body Composition Ages.
Compare these with your chronological age of 39 years to see which areas are aging faster or slower than expected.
Metabolic Health Age
Derived from your visceral fat levels, metabolic age reflects how efficiently your body manages fat storage around vital organs. Visceral fat accumulates around key organs and is closely linked to metabolic disease risk, lower visceral fat indicates a younger metabolic age.

Muscle Health Age
Based on the lean mass in your arms & legs relative to your height (ALMI), muscle age shows how your muscle mass compares to others of the same age and sex. Maintaining muscle mass is key to long-term strength and function.

Overall Bone Health Age
Calculated from your whole-body bone density Z-score, bone age reflects the biological age of your skeleton relative to population norms for your age and sex. Healthy bone density reduces fracture risk and supports long-term mobility. We recommend having a hip and spine scan if you are concerned about osteoporosis.

DEXA Spine Scan Results
A spine scan, focusing on the lumbar spine, assesses bone mineral density (BMD), crucial for diagnosing osteoporosis and predicting fractures. It's particularly effective in evaluating vertebral fractures, which lead to pain, deformity, and height loss. Providing valuable insight into spine health, these scans are vital for maintaining skeletal integrity and mobility.

T-scores alone do not determine fracture risk — age, sex, medical history, and lifestyle also play a role. Interpretation should be done in consultation with a healthcare professional.
DEXA Left Hip Scan Results
Hip scans, designed to measure bone mineral density (BMD) specifically at the femoral neck, play a critical role in identifying osteoporosis-related fractures. These scans offer valuable insights into the risk of hip fractures, known for their severe repercussions like reduced mobility. Particularly crucial for older adults and individuals at risk of hip fractures, hip scans provide essential data concerning bone health in the hip region, aiding in proactive management and prevention strategies.

RMR Test
What is Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)?
The Resting Metabolic Rate is the number of calories the body needs to perform basic functions such as breathing, circulation, and cell production while at rest. It represents the minimum energy required to sustain life.
The following information is intended as general guidance to support gradual and sustainable weight management based on your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) results. Individual results may vary due to factors such as lifestyle, health status, and activity levels.
Optimising Muscle Gain
Aim for a calorie surplus of approximately 10 - 20% above maintenance to encourage lean muscle gain without excessive fat increase. A suitable macronutrient distribution might be around 50% carbohydrates, 25% protein, and 25% fats. Prioritise nutritious foods such as oats, rice, potatoes, dairy, lean meats, and healthy oils. Eating regularly every 3 - 4 hours supports higher calorie intake, muscle repair, and consistent progress.

A VO2 Max test significantly enhances a weight gain journey by providing crucial insights into cardiovascular health and oxygen utilisation during intense exercise. Understanding aerobic capacity is pivotal for customised workouts to maximise efficiency and endurance in weight gain efforts. The test acts as a personalised blueprint, empowering individuals to optimise cardiovascular performance for effective and targeted efforts toward peak physical well-being during the weight gain process.

Heart Rate Based Training
Zone 1 — Training at intense levels can suppress your appetite. Training in Zone 1 can be useful if you are looking to gain weight. You may also find that exercising at a moderate intensity doesn't interfere with your appetite like high intensity training can, this can make it easier for you to consume more calories.
Zone 2 — Moderate-intensity exercise, such as Zone 2 training, may help stimulate your appetite. This can be beneficial if you are aiming to increase your caloric intake to support weight gain.
Zones 3, 4 & 5 — Training especially when including resistance exercises, can promote muscle development. Building lean muscle mass is crucial for healthy weight gain. In addition to this, regular exercise in Zone 3 can enhance the body's ability to utilise nutrients, ensuring that consumed calories contribute to muscle development and overall health.

Interpreting your DEXA Scan Results
BMC
BMC stands for Bone Mineral Content, and it is typically measured in grams (g). BMC refers to the total amount of minerals (primarily calcium and phosphorus) present in the bones. It is an important component of bone health assessment, along with bone mineral density (BMD).
BMD
BMD stands for Bone Mineral Density. It refers to the amount of mineral (primarily calcium and phosphorus) present in bone tissue, typically measured in grams per square centimetre (g/cm²) or grams per cubic centimetre (g/cm³). Bone mineral density is a key indicator of bone strength and density, providing valuable information about bone health.
