Body Measurements
A series of body measurements will be taken by trained staff. These measurements include height and weight. These measurements will be completed twice during this time. You will wear a hospital gown and bathing suit for these measurements.
Whole Body DXA Scan
This scan measures the amount of bone, muscle, and fat in your body. The scan will be performed using a whole-body scanner. You will be required to wear a hospital gown, to remove all metal-containing objects from your body, and to lie down on the table.
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)
These tests will measure the amount of fat in your body. You will be asked to change into a hospital gown and to remove all footwear and socks/stockings. Once changed and barefoot, you will be asked to stand on a scale (similar to a large gym scale) and to hold on to hand electrodes on each side of the scale. You will be asked to step off of the scale once the measurement is complete (less than one minute). You will also hold on to hand electrodes for three other BIA systems.
