24.01.2022 FitScan's DEXA technology is the gold standard for measuring body composition as it is significantly more accurate than other measurement techniques. This quick and easy scan is used by many elite athletes and people who are serious about their health. The DEXA whole body scanning system accurately measures lean muscle, body fat and bone mass. The picture below shows why BMI (Body Mass Index) isn't an accurate tool for measuring body composition. BMI estimates & categorizes the amount of body fat a person carries based on height and weight only.

21.01.2022 Here's a useful chart to help interpret body fat percentages. It accounts for both gender differences and age differences. Simply find your age category in the left hand column of your respective gender, and then look across to see where you fall in your age group.
