[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 50119, member: 3"] The main reason (and why DXA is considered the gold standard) is that DXA is the most accurate measurement of body composition, offers the best precision between tests, and uses a three-compartment model vs two. Three compartment model means you get a measurement of not only your lean and fat mass (the two compartment model), but also your bone mass (very important for knowing your risk of osteoporosis, osteopenia, and other low bone mass issues). A [URL="http://www.dexafit.com/dexa-scan"]DEXA scan[/URL] also shows you the fat and lean mass distribution throughout your entire body! This means you can see how each region of your body compares to each other Other popular methods using the two-compartment model like Hydrostatic Weighing, Bod Pod, and Calipers only measure fat and fat-free mass and can't report your fat and lean mass distribution. These methods are also calculated measurements of body fat, influenced by uncontrollable environmental variables, human error, less precision, and a high margin of error.
