assertion
Analysis v1

DEXA scans can show how much fat is in different parts of your body, like arms, legs, and belly, not just the total.

Scientific Claim

DEXA scans provide regional body fat percentage measurements for specific body areas, including arms, legs, hips, and abdomen.

Original Statement

One of the cool things about DEXA scans is they don't just give you an overall body fat percentage. They let you split the body into regions. So, you can see your body fat percentage in your arms, your legs, your hips, and even your belly.
