Brief Summary

This study is being conducted to examine the performance of three common DXA machines (1) Lunar iDXA, (2) Lunar Prodigy and (3) Hologic Discovery A in measuring bone density and body fat.

Detailed Description

For this study, two specific groups of volunteers will be recruited. In one group, the scan will measure bone density and in the other group the scan will measure fat. The groups will be broken into weight groups to determine which of the scanners the subject will be scanned on. Subjects will have the option to participate in either one or both groups.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Short Term Precision Comparison Across Three DXA DevicesLess than 6 months

BMD precision will be reported across three DXA devices in major skeletal and body composition sites. The short-term precision was calculated as RMS-SD (root mean square standard deviation) over the mean for each cohort. The skeletal cohort will not have short-term precision value for body composition indexes due to the different region of measurement. The same will apply to the body composition cohort. As the result, the "Skeletal \& Body Composition" cohort identified in participant flow and overall study summary will not have an analysis provided.
