Not for sure if this is the correct forum for this quesion....
I had a DEXA Scan done last Friday and have tried to figure out the results. The professor at the college where I went to have it done did go over it a little bit with me and gave me a 4 page print out of it. I searched online but only could find stuff about Bone Density on it and this also measures % of tissue and body fat. I have an appointment with my bariatric physical therapist on Monday next week to help me interpret the results but wondered if anyone on here was familar with them? I paid out of pocket for mine and it was only $50. A bargain since they usually run $500 or more to have done. Thanks in advance!

Perhaps this sample report will make it easier to interpret your results.
