DEXA Scans: A Superior Measure for Health and Longevity

Body composition tests, which measure body fat and muscle mass, are becoming more popular as they provide a more accurate picture of health compared to BMI. These tests, such as DEXA scans and bioelectric impedance analysis, are increasingly available in gyms and medical settings. They help individuals track fitness progress more effectively, showing gains in muscle and reductions in body fat, which are important for overall health and longevity.
