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
Body Fat Percentage: 27.2%
Body Fat Weight: 18.5 kg
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.
6.45 kg/m²
43/100 - Compared to other 39 year old females.
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, sometimes called "spillover" fat, builds up around internal organs like the liver and pancreas once subcutaneous fat stores are full.
While some is protective, too much increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
A healthy measurement for you would be < 100cm².

Lean Mass Index (LMI)

Average LMI
Represents a balanced lean mass relative to height, supporting healthy metabolism, physical function, and long-term resilience when fat mass is also well-managed.
Recommendation
Maintain regular resistance training, ensure dietary protein is adequate, and recheck DEXA every 3 - 6 months to track trends in muscle and fat.
Appendicular Lean Mass Index (ALMI)
The Appendicular Lean Mass Index (ALMI) shows how much muscle your arms and legs have relative to your height. Values below 5.45 kg/m ² can be associated with Sarcopenia (Muscle atrophy).

Average ALMI
Reflects a healthy, balanced amount of limb muscle relative to your size. It's a positive sign for functional strength and metabolic health, especially if maintained with low visceral fat.
Recommendation
Maintain with consistent strength training, sufficient protein, and periodic reassessment to ensure muscle quality and fat balance remain optimal over time.
DEXA Scan Lean Mass
Your lean mass and how it's distributed across your body can be useful if you are trying to balance your muscle groups, or partake in particular activities that require higher regional concentrations.
Abnormally low muscle mass can also lead to increased risk of fractures, dementia, and metabolic disorders including Type 2 diabetes.

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
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
Please Note: Full-body bone density scans provide an overall indication of bone health, but for a definitive osteoporosis diagnosis, please arrange separate scans of the hip and spine.
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.

RMR Test
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Testing
Understanding Your Basal Energy Expenditure - Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing is a valuable tool in the field of nutrition and fitness that helps individuals understand their basal energy expenditure. This measurement reveals the amount of energy the body requires at rest, providing a foundation for designing personalised nutrition and fitness plans.
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.
Importance of RMR Testing
Understanding RMR is crucial for several reasons:
- Tailored Nutrition Plans: RMR testing enables the creation of individualised nutrition plans by establishing the baseline caloric needs of an individual. This personalised approach can be more effective in achieving weight management goals.
- Optimising Weight Loss or Gain: RMR data helps in determining the ideal caloric intake for weight loss or muscle gain, allowing for more precise and sustainable results.
- Fitness Program Optimisation: Incorporating RMR into fitness planning ensures that exercise routines are aligned with energy expenditure, enhancing the efficiency of workouts for achieving specific goals.

Vo2 Max Test Results
The Test
A VO2 Max test is a crucial tool for optimising a weight loss journey by assessing cardiovascular health and oxygen utilisation during intense exercise. Understanding one's aerobic capacity helps tailor workouts for maximum efficiency and endurance. Acting as a personalised roadmap, the test empowers individuals to enhance cardiovascular performance, guiding targeted efforts for effective weight loss and overall well-being.

Heart Rate Based Training
Zone 1 - Training promotes fat burning and can also assist with improving metabolic efficiency to help with weight management. Your body primarily relies on fat as a fuel source when training at a lower intensity.
Zone 2 - Training encourages the utilisation of fat as a primary fuel source. This can help improve fat metabolism, potentially aiding in weight management.
Zone 3, 4 & 5 - Training can contribute to increased calorie burn during and after your workouts. When combined with a balanced diet, this can help support weight loss goals. Workouts in these zones can result in a higher post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), commonly known as the afterburn effect. This means your body will continue to burn calories at an elevated rate even after your workout is completed.
| Heart Rate | Speed (MPH) | Incline (%) | Kcals/Hr | |

| Zone 5 | >102 | >536 | ||

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).
