Imaging
DEXA Scan
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry — the gold standard for measuring bone density, body composition, and visceral fat.
Optimal Range
T-score > -1.0 (bone) · ALMI and visceral fat within range
Why It Matters
DEXA provides three critical longevity metrics in one scan: bone density (osteoporosis risk), lean muscle mass (sarcopenia risk), and visceral fat (metabolic risk). Sarcopenia and osteoporosis are leading drivers of disability and mortality in aging.
