What are the differences between dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and hydrostatic weighing?

Question

Question

Answer 1

Answer #1

The differences between DEXA and hydrostatic weighing are

DEXA	Hydrostatic weighing
It measure the bone mass It uses X ray to scan Risk is low It can measure the visceral fat too Privacy is generally not much a concern It is costly	It measure the mass of body(in weight /unit volume) Also called as underwater weighing It uses fluid mechanics to measure It is more accurate and reliable It can measure the body fat exactly Risk is comparatively high It cannot measure visceral fats in the body Privacy is a concern It is cheap
