DEXA Visceral Adipose Index
DEXA visceral adipose index quantifies trunk fat partitions on DXA scans—strong trend tool between visits when paired with home waist tape.
DEXA visceral adipose index reports estimated organ-region fat from dual-energy X-ray scans—more reproducible than bathroom scales for central depots when the facility offers android/trunk fat partitions. Radiation is low but cost and access limit frequency; annual or semiannual scans suit most wellness users.
Common questions
-
How often should you repeat DEXA for visceral fat?
Every six to twelve months is typical for wellness tracking—more often only if clinician-guided. Waist tape fills gaps between scans.
