Fat is a bad conductor therefore a person with a lot of fat will not conduct as much electrical energy as someone who has more muscle: dexa: dual energy x-ray absorptiometry measures total body density. A low energy x-ray machine is usually used to measure bone density. 10. cat scan: computer assisted tomography artificially slices your body with. 11. mri: magnetic resonance imaging uses magnets to change the spin of your electrons. Hight visceral fat means high triglycerides and low hdl. Ageing effects the compressibility of subputaneous fat. As women go through menopause, their levels of estrogen decrease.
