Frequently Asked
Questions
What is a DEXA scan?
A DEXA scan (also called DXA) is a non-invasive imaging test that uses low-dose X-rays to measure body composition and bone mineral density (BMD) with high accuracy. It's widely used for early osteoporosis screening and fat and muscle analysis, particularly visceral fat around the body's core and lean mass.
Does the DEXA scan hurt?
The DEXA scan ultrasound doesn't hurt. The test is non-invasive and simply requires lying still.
How often should I get a DEXA scan?
For longevity or fitness goals, experts recommend getting a DEXA scan every 6–12 months to track progress or screen bone density.
Can I eat before a DEXA scan?
Yes, you can eat before a DEXA scan, but avoid intense workouts and heavy meals 2 hours before and calcium supplements 24 hours before for the most accurate lean/fat mass readings.
What is the cost of a DEXA scan?
Humanaut Health offers a 4-part DEXA scan of the entire body for $150. Membership plans include regular DEXA scans as part of comprehensive health tracking.
