Use this summary to organize body-composition quantities reported by a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry assessment on a consistent mass and percentage basis.

DXA fat mass (kg)

Required number input.

DXA lean mass (kg)

Required number input.

DXA bone mineral content (kg)

Required number input.

Summarize fat mass, lean mass, and bone mineral content copied from a DXA body-composition report. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Fat mass (%)

The resulting fat mass returned as a number.

Lean mass (%)

The resulting lean mass returned as a number.

Bone mineral content (%)

The resulting bone mineral content returned as a number.

• DXA estimates depend on scanner hardware, software, calibration, positioning, hydration, body thickness, analysis regions, and the reference database. Results from different devices or protocols may not be directly interchangeable and are not a diagnosis by themselves.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Interpret the report with the imaging facility or a qualified clinician, compare serial measurements only under a consistent protocol, and retain the scanner and software details with the values.

• Air-Displacement Body Composition Calculator

  Calculate density and estimated body composition from body mass and a corrected body volume measured by air-displacement equipment.

• Fat Free Mass

  Compute fat-free body mass in kilograms from body weight and body fat percentage.

• Meat To Bone Ratio

  Compute the carcass meat to bone ratio from lean meat mass and bone mass.
