I've been considering using DEXA for body composition analysis, but I'm wondering if there are any drawbacks or limitations to this method that I should be aware of before making a decision.

For instance, individuals with degenerative changes in their bones may experience altered bone structure and composition, which can affect the accuracy of DXA results.

Patients undergoing corticosteroid treatment also face challenges in assessing fracture risk via DXA, as these medications can influence bone metabolism and density.

Additionally, individuals with a small frame or body weight may have inherently different bone characteristics compared to those with larger frames, further complicating the interpretation of DXA scans.

Similarly, those with a large frame or body weight may also present unique challenges, as their bone mass and distribution may not be adequately captured by standard DXA protocols.

Bone density assessments conducted using Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) may not offer a precise indication of fracture risk in specific patient populations.
