How To Check Whether You Are Overweight
DEXA (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan is one of the ways to do that. it is used to measure body fat and muscle mass, which gives the body composition. Visceral and subcutaneous fat are highlighted by this scan.
DEXA scans are expensive and provide a more extensive report about exactly where the fat is stored in the body. Visceral fat is stored around internal organs like heart, kidney, liver and pancreas, and can cause high blood pressure and diabetes.
