But in general, a Dexa scan, or a bone mineral density study,
is the one that's used most often today.
Importantly, though, there are relatively few Dexa scanners available worldwide and their cost is prohibitive-
both to buy and to run.
If you are found to be at increased risk, or your
risk is uncertain, you may be referred for a Dexa scan.
The researchers noted the Dexa cutoff point for obesity is 25 percent body fat,
or 27 percent for those older than 40.
The most accurate measures, such as Dexa scans or hydrostatic weighing,
must be done in a clinical setting and are often prohibitively expensive.
If you are found to be at an increased risk, or your
risk is uncertain, you may be referred for a Dexa scan.
The main goal of Dexa Coin is to make the process of sending and receiving money faster,
more secure with easy accessibility to anyone who can operate a smartphone device.
Unfortunately, you would need a Dexa scan to figure out how much muscle and bone you have now,
and by extension how much more you could gain if everything worked out exactly right.
That's why it's important to assess the state of your skeleton
now with a dual energy x-ray absorptiometry(Dexa) scan,
which uses low-radiation x-rays to gauge bone mineral density(it can also measure body fat percentage).
A study that used Dexa scanners, which can measure body composition with supreme accuracy,
revealed that low-carb caused 3.4 kg(7.5 pounds) of fat loss and 1.1 kg(2.4 pounds) of muscle gain in only 6 weeks(17).
For those who want the utmost accuracy in their measurement,
there are options like hydrostatic weighing and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(Dexa) to consider,
but these will hit the wallet hard and for body fat measuring purposes are generally only used by professional athletes.
