I have recently had a DEXA scan performed and have accurate weight figures for fat, bone, and lean mass; and the associated body fat %.
How do I use this to calibrate my Index S2 scale? I have 2 inputs of body fat and Skeletal Muscle mass but am not sure if skeletal muscle mass is the same as Lean mass.
Thanks.
am not sure if skeletal muscle mass is the same as Lean mass.
It's not exactly the same.
So basically, the weight of the muscles attached to your bones that you can control voluntarily. It looks like the DEXA scan should include this figure - A Guide To Reading Your DEXA Scan Results: What Does It Mean?
Whereas lean mass includes all the components of your body that are not fat. It encompasses skeletal muscle mass, as well as organs, bones, water, and other tissues.
