Is there actually a “gold standard” for body composition testing? Or, is comparing BOD POD to DEXA more like comparing apples to oranges?
It doesn’t really matter if you end up on team BOD POD or team DEXA, both are great tools for learning more about your unique body composition. By understanding how these body composition tests are similar, and different, you can better determine which method will offer you the insights you need to reach your individual wellness goals.
