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.
| Area (cm²) | BMC (g) | BMD (g/cm²) | T-Score | Z-Score | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | 18.26 | 19.67 | 1.078 | 0.0 | 0.4 |
| L2 | 17.88 | 20.22 | 1.131 | 0.3 | 0.7 |

| Total | 75.5 | 87.58 | 1.181 | 0.6 | 0.5 |
- The T-score shows how your bone density compares to the optimal peak bone density for your gender
- The Z-score shows how your bone density compares to the bone densities of others of the same age, gender, and ethnicity
- BMC (g) shows the bone mineral content in grams for each vertebra
DEXA Spine Scan Results
The T-score shows how your bone density compares to the optimal peak bone density of a 25 year old for your gender
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines osteoporosis and osteopenia based on T-scores:
- Normal bone density: T-score above -1 SD
- Osteopenia (low bone density): T-score between -1 and -2.5 SD
- Osteoporosis: T-score of -2.5 SD or lower
T-Score is 0.6. You have Normal Bone Density.
- The Graph above shows how your bone density compares to the bone densities of others of the same age, gender, and ethnicity
- The line through the middle shows the average for your age, with the section above showing above-average scores, and the section below showing below-average scores.
DEXA 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.
Breakdown
| Area (cm²) | BMC (g) | BMD (g/cm²) | T-Score | Z-Score | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Neck | 5.94 | 5.86 | 0.987 | 0.4 | 1.2 |
| Total | 41.98 | 49.57 | 1.181 | 1.0 | 1.3 |
Total BMD CV 1.0%, ACF = 1.046, BCF = 1.017, TH = 7.567
- Please Note: T scores and Z scores are not available for children or teenagers under 20 years old, and are less reliable for anyone over 85 years old.
- FRAX Scores can only be calculated for T score values above -2.5.
- FRAX Scores can only be calculated on hips.
DEXA Hip Scan Results
The graph below shows a pictorial representation of how your results compare to those of others in your age, sex, and ethnic group for comparison.
Bone Density
Based on the overall information contained in this report
your
WHO Classification is: Normal Bone Density.
Under 50 years of age bone density can still change, therefore T-scores and bone density classification may not be accurate.
T-Score is 0.4
DEXA Scan BMI Classification
- BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It originates from observations in the 1830s of a population of mainly white European men.
- Your BMI is calculated from your weight and height and is a simple - and blunt - method of assessing whether your weight is "normal" for your height.
- Because it is ultimately based on your weight, BMI cannot differentiate between fat and muscle mass, so often categorises muscular individual as overweight or obese.
- It also does not account for your fat distribution, which is crucial for assessing health risks, as fat in the upper body and abdomen increases the risk of life-changing diseases, such as type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Normal weight
- Lower risk of obesity-related health conditions
- Reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases
- Improved overall health and longevity
DEXA Scan Body Fat
Total Body Fat: 29.0%
How you compare to others
The graph opposite provides a standardised measure accounting for age and sex in the UK, leading to more accurate and clinically relevant assessments compared to BMI and body fat classifications.
Fat Mass Index (FMI)
The Fat Mass Index (FMI) shows how much fat your body has relative to your height. If you are taller, the fat spreads out more, and if you're shorter, it's more packed in.
6.99 kg/m²
51/100 - Compared to a 39 year old Female.
Normal Range 5 - 8 kg/m².
Body Fat Classifications
| Classification | % Body Fat |
|---|---|
| Essential | 10 - 14 |
| Athletic | 14 - 21 |
| Fit | 21 - 25 |
| Average | 25 - 32 |
| Above Average | 32 - 39 |
| Obese | 39+ |
DEXA Scan Visceral Fat
Visceral fat has been referred to as "spillover" fat and accumulates around internal organs like the liver, kidney and pancreas when subcutaneous fat stores under the skin are "full".
While some fat around the organs help cushion them, excess visceral fat increases health risks such as heart disease and diabetes.
A healthy measurement for you would be < 100cm².
Your Visceral fat measurement is 71.2cm²

Bone Density Z-score
The Z-score shows how your bone density compares to the bone densities of others who are the same age, gender, and ethnicity.
- Z-scores between -1 and +1: Very common. Most people (about 68 out of 100 people your age) have Z-scores in this range.
- Z-scores between -2 and +2: Less common. Most people (about 95 out of 100 people your age) fall in this range.
- Z-scores beyond -3 and +3: Very rare. Almost everyone (about 997 out of 1000 people your age) has Z-scores within this range.
Your Z-Score is 0.0
Z-scores for bone density compare an individual's bone density to the average bone density of people of the same age, sex, and body size. A Z-score of 0 indicates that the bone density is exactly average. Scores below -2.0 may suggest a higher risk of bone fractures or underlying medical conditions affecting bone health.
Bone Density T-score
The T-score shows how your bone density compares to the optimal peak bone density of a 25 year old Female.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines osteoporosis and osteopenia based on T-scores:
- Normal bone density: T-score above -1 SD
- Osteopenia (low bone density): T-score between -1 and -2.5 SD
- Osteoporosis: T-score of -2.5 SD or lower
T-Score is 0.2. You have Normal Bone Density
It's important to note that T-scores alone do not determine fracture risk; other factors such as age, sex, medical history, and lifestyle also play a role. Additionally, a T-score is just one component of a comprehensive assessment for osteoporosis and fracture risk. Interpretation of T-scores should be done in consultation with a healthcare professional.

Interpreting your Dexa Scan Results
Interpreting the Data
Here's what each column means in your DEXA scan body composition results:
- Fat Mass (g): The total amount of fat in grams.
- Lean + BMC (g): Fat-free mass. The combined weight of lean mass (muscle, organs, skin, water, etc) and bone in grams.
- Total Mass (g): The total combined weight of fat, muscle, and bone.
- % Fat: The percentage of the total mass that is fat.
- BMC: Bone Mineral Content refers to the total quantity of minerals (primarily calcium and phosphorus, measured in grams) present in the bones and the total is essentially the weight of your bones. It is an important component of bone health assessment, along with bone mineral density (BMD). The total mass of all the bones in your body (the weight of your skeleton) is much lower than most people expect, between 1.5kg and 4kg.
- BMD: Bone Mineral Density is a key indicator of bone strength. The higher the density (within limits), the stronger your bones and the less likely you are to fracture after a fall or impact. Low bone density can indicate conditions such as osteopenia and osteoporosis. BMD is typically measured in grams per square centimetre (g/cm²) or grams per cubic centimetre (g/cm³).
