DEXA Scan BMI Classification
- BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is a numerical value calculated from a person's weight and height and is commonly used to assess whether a person has a healthy body weight for their height.
- BMI dates back to the 1830s, and lacks information on fat distribution in the body, which is crucial for assessing health risks.
- BMI cannot differentiate between muscle and fat, often misclassifying muscular individuals as overweight or obese.
Normal weight
- Lower risk of obesity-related health conditions
- Reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases
- Improved overall health and longevity
DEXA Scan Body Fat Results
Total Body Fat 32.6%
What this means
For women, the above average range is generally between 32-39%.
The American Council on Exercise introduced body fat classifications in the late 1980s to early 1990s.
Body Fat Classifications
| Classification | % Body Fat |
|---|---|
| Essential | 10 - 14 |
| Athletic | 14 - 21 |
| Fit | 21 - 25 |
| Average | 25 - 32 |
| Above Average | 32 - 39 |
| Obese | 39+ |
How you really compare to others of the same age and sex
The graph opposite provides a standardised measure accounting for age and sex, leading to more accurate and clinically relevant assessments compared to BMI and body fat classifications.
DEXA Scan Visceral Fat
Visceral fat, surrounds organs like the liver and intestines, unlike subcutane- ous fat under the skin. While it cushions organs, excess visceral fat increases health risks such as heart disease and diabetes.
A healthy measurement for you would be < 100cm².

DEXA Scan 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.

DEXA Scan 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.
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.
RMR Test Results

Your Goals
You've expressed a clear commitment to your primary goal of weight loss, and this report details the outcomes of the comprehensive
testing
conducted at BodyView.
Embarking on a weight loss journey requires dedication and patience, yet it is an achievable goal for most
individuals. Prioritise getting an adequate amount of sleep each night, as
quality
rest is foundational to overall health and can positively impact weight management efforts. Staying well-hydrated is equally crucial;
water intake
not only supports bodily functions but can also aid in appetite control. Additionally, incorporating resistance training into your
fitness routine
is an excellent strategy to enhance metabolism. Building lean muscle mass through resistance exercises contributes to a more efficient
calorie
burn, even during periods of rest. Remember, sustainable weight loss involves a multifaceted approach that extends beyond mere numbers
on a scale.
As you embark on this journey, know that achieving your weight loss goals is within reach, and the
support of our team at BodyView is here to guide you every step of the way.
Tracking Calories
Track More Accurately
Tracking calories is crucial for effective weight loss because it provides a tangible measure of the energy intake and expenditure that directly influences body weight. In essence, weight loss occurs when there is a consistent caloric deficit, meaning that the calories burned through physical activity and basal metabolic processes exceed the calories consumed. Calorie tracking offers a quantitative method to monitor this delicate balance, helping individuals gain a clear understanding of their dietary habits and make informed decisions about portion sizes and food choices. It provides accountability and allows for adjustments to ensure that the calorie deficit required for weight loss is being achieved. Moreover, calorie tracking empowers individuals to recognize patterns, identify potential areas for improvement, and develop sustainable, healthier eating habits. To streamline this process, we recommend utilising user-friendly apps such as MyFitnessPal, MyNetDiary, or NutraCheck which make calorie tracking convenient and enhance the overall effectiveness of weight loss efforts. By incorporating these tools, individuals can take charge of their nutrition, making the journey to a healthier weight more manageable and achievable.
Other ways to improve your weight loss
The FatMax test is a valuable tool for individuals and athletes aiming to fine-tune their exercise intensity to maximise fat utilisation. By identifying the optimal fat-burning zone, individuals can tailor their training programs to align with their specific fitness and weight management goals. As with any fitness assessment, it is advisable to consult with qualified professionals for accurate interpretation and application of FatMax data.

Exercise Ideas
The most effective activities for weight loss are those that combine cardiovascular exercise with strength training, providing a well-rounded approach to burn calories, boost metabolism, and build lean muscle. Here are some of the best exercises for weight loss:
Walking or Jogging
Brisk walking or jogging is a great way to burn calories and improve cardiovascular health. It's accessible to most people and can be easily incorporated into daily routines.
Cycling
Whether on a stationary bike or outdoors, cycling is an excellent cardiovascular exercise that engages the lower body muscles and burns calories effectively.
Swimming
Incorporate bodyweight exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, and dips, which help build functional strength and contribute to muscle definition.
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
HIIT involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief rest periods. This approach is known for its effectiveness in burning calories and improving overall fitness.
Exercise
Strength Training
Building lean muscle through strength training contributes to weight loss by increasing metabolism. Include exercises like weight lifting, bodyweight exercises, or resistance training in your routine.
Group Classes
Joining group fitness classes such as aerobics, dance, or spinning can make exercise more enjoyable and motivate you to stay consistent with your workouts.
Rowing
Rowing is a full-body exercise that engages multiple muscle groups. It provides an effective cardiovascular workout while also building strength.
Yoga
While not as high-intensity as some other exercises, yoga can be a valuable part of a weight loss plan. It improves flexibility, reduces stress, and may contribute to mindful eating habits.
Remember that the best exercise for weight loss is the one that you enjoy and can consistently incorporate into your routine. Combining a variety of activities and maintaining a balanced diet are key components of a successful weight loss strategy. It's always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or fitness expert before starting a new exercise regimen, especially if you have any existing health conditions.
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 amount of fat in grams in that specific body area.
- Lean + BMC (g): The combined weight of muscle and bone mineral content in grams.
- Total Mass (g): The total weight of the body area, including fat, muscle, and bone.
- % Fat: The percentage of the total mass that is fat in that area.
- YN: Your percentile rank compared to an average 25 year old of the same sex.
- AM: Your percentile rank compared to the average of someone your age and sex.
Are These Results Good or Bad
- Higher Percentiles: Generally mean you have more lean mass or fat in that area compared to others.
- Lower Percentiles: Mean you have less lean mass or fat in that area compared to others.
Remember, these results are just one way to look at your health. It's always good to talk to a health professional to understand what these numbers mean for you personally and what steps you might take to stay healthy.
Body Fat Percentile Examples
- 25th Percentile: If you are in the 25th percentile, you have less fat than 75 out of 100 people. Most people have more fat than you.
- 50th Percentile: If you are in the 50th percentile. Half of the people have more fat than you, and half have less.
- 75th Percentile: If you are in the 75th percentile, you have more fat than 75 out of 100 people. Only 25 out of 100 people have more.
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.
