FAQ about DEXA Scans at APEX in Portland, Oregon:
1. Visceral Fat Analysis - Higher amounts of visceral fat are directly correlated to increased risk of stroke, heart attack, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other health issues. DEXA Scans can easily detect this fat! This fat is on the inside of your body, covering your vital organs like plaque on teeth. It is only detectable by an MRI, CT Scan or DEXA.
2. Lean Muscle Mass - Higher amounts of lean muscle correlate to a longer lifespan. DEXA Scans are the most accurate way to assess muscle mass. Muscle also supports joints and ligaments, helping decrease injury risk & chronic pain development. It is also important to track muscle to make sure your workouts & nutrition are conducive to building or maintaining muscle and NOT fat.
The DEXA Scan experience at Apex Performance Wellness & Rehab in Portland, Oregon, is reliable, precise, consistent and the easiest way to collect data about your body without questioning accuracy. It will tell you exactly where you’re at so you can create a roadmap for change. It’s the gold standard in body composition analysis, recommended by health professionals across the world. If you don’t know where you’re at, you won’t know where you’re going.
Tracking body fat, lean muscle, visceral fat, and relationship of muscle to bone density help you get the most efficiency out of your health, nutrition & fitness routine. For people at all ages, fitness levels and nutrition programs, a DEXA Scan is a great way to track a variety of body composition measurements. Whether you’re rehabbing from a surgery and want to know if you have equal amounts of muscle from leg to leg or arm to arm, fine-tuning the body and tracking body fat percentage changes, or aging and curious to know if you have the requisite amount of lean mass in relation to bone in the arms and legs, a DEXA Scan is a great place to start!
There is a weight limit of 350 lbs for the DEXA Scan equipment.
If you are over the weight capacity, and still looking for data on your body, a One Time Macro Breakdown, the 12 Week Nutrition Challenge, and/or the Resting Metabolic Rate test are great places to start! The RMR Test is a great way to learn your metabolism and start making progress until you can do the DEXA!
A DXA (or DEXA) Scan for Body Composition will NOT provide a medical diagnosis or outlook on bone density to assess osteoporosis, osteopenia, hip fracture risk, lumbar fracture risk, or fall risk. A DEXA Scan for Bone Density will need to be purchased in conjunction to get those details (or purchased instead of DEXA Body Composition).
A Total Body Composition DEXA Scan will show your total body bone density, which isn't typically what medical professionals are looking for when evaluating bone mineral density and bone health. If you're unsure which DXA Scan type is best for you, consult your healthcare provider or reach out to our team!
The DEXA Scan itself will take 7-10 minutes, depending on your total mass.
Yes, absolutely! A lot of people schedule both the Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Test & DEXA Scan. The tests are performed back to back, with results in your hand immediately afterward. The combination of a DEXA Scan with an RMR Test will give you the answers on how much to eat to reach your body composition goals AND accurately track the results over time.
This depends on each person, their goals and approach after the first DEXA Scan. For those making a big change in both diet and fitness, especially if paying for a nutritionist and/or personal trainer, the check in frequency is typically closer. This can be as early as one month after the first DEXA Scan or up to three months. Some people utilize the DEXA Scan as an annual check in on their body composition to see how results have been maintained. We discuss this in person with you after your first DEXA Scan and give you our best recommendation.
Wear comfortable athletic clothing WITH NO metal. Metal will interrupt the DEXA scan. If you have metal in your body from an operation, that is OKAY and will not affect your DEXA Scan results! We just want to limit metal, it will not harm you or the DXA scan in any way.
Yes, you can, DEXA Scans are not impeded by food intake.
YOU BET! Caffeine doesn’t impact the results of your DEXA Scan.
DEXA Scans at APEX in Portland, Oregon cost $147 per scan. The cost for a DEXA Scan decreases if you combine it with another test like the VO2 Max or RMR.
