Where can I get a DEXA scan in San Diego?

DexaFit San Diego offers DEXA body composition scans at 11230 Sorrento Valley Rd, Ste 160, San Diego, CA 92121, serving Sorrento Valley, La Jolla, and greater San Diego County. A DEXA scan reads fat, lean muscle, visceral fat, and bone density region by region, with results the same visit.

What is the most accurate way to measure body fat?

A DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan is the clinical reference method for body composition, measured to about 98 percent accuracy, or plus or minus 2 percent. Smart scales and handheld devices can be 8 to 15 percent off because they estimate from electrical signals. DexaFit San Diego in Sorrento Valley uses a clinical-grade DEXA protocol.

What are the benefits of a VO2 Max test?

VO2 Max is your body's peak rate of oxygen use and the strongest single predictor of how long you stay healthy. In a study of 122,007 people (Mandsager et al., JAMA 2018), the least fit had a roughly 5 times higher risk of death than the most fit. DexaFit San Diego measures your true VO2 Max so training targets a real number, not a wrist estimate.

How is resting metabolic rate (RMR) measured?

RMR is measured with indirect calorimetry: you breathe into a device that reads oxygen use and carbon dioxide output to calculate the calories your body burns at rest. Calculator estimates can be 20 to 30 percent off. DexaFit San Diego measures your RMR directly so nutrition runs on your real number.

How much does a DEXA scan cost in San Diego?

At DexaFit San Diego, a DEXA body composition scan is $99 as a special (regular $120). A VO2 Max test is $170 and an RMR test is $130, with savings when you combine two or three tests in one visit. The location is in Sorrento Valley, serving La Jolla and San Diego County.
