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.Fat Mass Forecast
This personalised forecast shows how your fat mass is predicted to change over the next 10 years based on your current body composition, age, sex and BodyView’s UK DEXA reference data. The dotted line shows the expected population trend for comparison.
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

Visceral Fat
Optimal: 10 – 80 cm²Continue moderate-intensity exercise and monitor waist circumference.
Staying in this range supports metabolic flexibility and lowers risk of insulin resistance with age.Visceral Fat Forecast
This personalised forecast shows how your visceral fat is predicted to change over the next 10 years based on your current body composition, age, sex and BodyView’s UK DEXA reference data. The dotted line shows the expected population trend for comparison.
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
+ 2 years
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.
Arms

|---|---|---|---|
| Arms | 2.28 kg | 2.36 kg | |
| Legs | 7.44 kg | 7.76 kg |
Muscle Symmetry
Optimal: < 15% imbalanceInclude unilateral exercises (working one side of the body at a time) and maintain proper technique in your training.
Symmetry supports joint health and efficient movement, helping sustain functional longevity.Lean Mass Forecast
This personalised forecast shows how your lean mass in the arms and legs (ALMI) is predicted to change over the next 10 years based on your current body composition, age, sex and BodyView’s UK DEXA reference data. The dotted line shows the expected population trend for comparison.
Bone Density
Your Bone Health Age compares your bone density with other 39 year old Females from the BodyView UK reference database of over 48,700 DEXA scans.
Your T-score compares your bone density to a 25 year old Female's bone density, while your Z-score compares you with healthy adults of the same age and sex using the NHANES reference database. Different reference populations may produce different results.

Bone Mineral Density
Optimal: Z-score ≥ 0Continue resistance and impact activities; monitor BMD annually if at risk.
Maintaining healthy bone density reduces fracture risk, helping preserve mobility, independence, and quality of life.The World Health Organization (WHO) defines osteoporosis and osteopenia based on T-scores:
Osteoporosis
T-score of -2.5 or lower
Osteopenia (low bone density)
T-score between -1 and -2.5

Body Recomposition
This chart plots each of your scans by Body Fat Index (FMI) across the bottom and Lean Mass in Arms & Legs (ALMI) up the side. Moving left means losing fat, moving up means gaining muscle, so tracking up and to the left is body recomposition.
Your Recomposition Score rates your combined muscle and fat progress from 0–100, where 50 is neutral and higher means positive body recomposition.

Body Composition Summary
Percentiles show how you compare to other 39 year old females, ranked from 0 (lowest) to 100 (highest). A higher percentile for muscle metrics like ALMI, Arms, Trunk and Legs is better, while a lower percentile for fat metrics like FMI and Visceral Fat is better.
Comparing your previous and current scans shows how your ranking has shifted over time, giving a clearer picture of your progress than the raw numbers alone.

*Please Note: For a more precise assessment of your cardiovascular fitness, we recommend an RMR and VO2 max test.
Body Composition Age
Using BodyView's UK reference database of over 48,700 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.
+ 5 years
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.
+ 2 years
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.
