AM360 Body Composition Scan
A medical imaging assessment using DEXA technology to measure bone density and evaluate body composition, including fat and muscle tissue.
What the Body Composition Scan Measures
DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is a medical imaging technique commonly used to measure bone density. It can also be used as a body composition test to assess fat mass, lean muscle, and bone.
This dexa scan body composition assessment provides a detailed view of body composition beyond scale weight alone.
How the Scan Is Used at AM360
AM360 uses body composition scan data to place individuals into comprehensive and personalized health and fitness programs. Results help guide decisions by specifically addressing body composition rather than relying only on weight or appearance.
This approach allows the scan to function as a body scan for fat and muscle within AM360’s broader Programs & Services.
Reasons for Completing a Scan
Early Identification of Health Risks
DEXA body composition scans can help identify health risks associated with excess body fat, including heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. The scan can also identify individuals who may be at risk for osteoporosis or other bone-related conditions.
Accurate Measurement of Body Composition
DEXA is considered one of the most accurate methods available for assessing body composition, as it distinguishes between bone, fat, and muscle tissue.
Personalized Planning for Obesity Management
Detailed body composition results can be used to support a personalized plan to treat obesity. Tracking changes over time helps determine whether fat or muscle is being lost.
Structured support for weight management
Participate in a program designed around BMI considerations, current fitness level, and individual needs.
