🎲

Body scanning technology used to assess total body fat, showing much higher obesity rates than BMI calculations in research studies

Mentions (1)
"All these participants underwent DEXA assessment of their total body fat as well as a BMI calculation. Using standard obesity cutoffs for both BMI and total body fat, Visaria found that DEXA rated 74% of participants as having obesity based on body fat compared with 36% based on BMI."
