Illustrative ranges. Your physician sets yours.
(01) How it’s done
On the day
Measured in the same DEXA scan as your bones and muscle, so there is no extra time.
We report it in grams and compare it with your previous scans.
(02) Why it matters
What it tells us
Visceral fat sits around your organs, inside the abdomen. It drives metabolic and heart risk far more than body weight does.
The scale and the mirror cannot see it. Many people with a normal BMI carry too much, and it is often the first number to fall with training.
(03) Same system
Body & strength
Measured on the same day, read by the same physician.
