To evaluate physician response to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) report within the Geisinger Medical Center's Mobile DXA Program and treatment adherence at 1 year. Between 10/01/2004 and 3/30/2005, 1381 DXA scans were performed in our Mobile DXA Program. Within this cohort, we identified 366 high-risk, drug-naive patients and report the percentage of patients placed on prescription drug therapy within 90 days of DXA result. Additionally, we identified 191 patients with Z-score of -1.0 or worse and report whether laboratory tests were ordered within 90 days of DXA results in this group. Finally, we determined treatment adherence at 1 year. 269 patients (74%) were offered prescription therapy within 3 months of DXA results. Of those, 210 (57%) were still adherent to drug therapy at 1 year. The main reason for discontinuation of treatment was an adverse drug side effect. Additionally, in 50% cases, physicians ordered 1 or more laboratory tests to evaluate low Z-score. Within our Mobile DXA Program, 74% of high-risk, drug-naïve patients were treated. Interestingly, in 50% cases, when a low Z-score was reported, our physicians ordered 1 or more laboratory tests. Treatment adherence was 57% at 1 year.

Article Synopsis
- Maternal preconception overweight is linked to a higher risk of having overweight children, but previous studies didn’t use comprehensive methods to measure offspring body fat like dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
- A study in Japan analyzed data from 1,244 fifth-grade students, focusing on 964 who had complete maternal BMI information, to assess the relationship between maternal weight at conception and the body fat of their children at age 11.
- Results showed that children of overweight mothers had significantly higher odds of excess body fat compared to those of non-overweight mothers, indicating that maternal BMI at conception can be a useful predictor of offspring body fat.

Within the USA military, monitoring body composition is an essential component of predicting physical performance and establishing soldier readiness. The purpose of this study was to explore mobile phone three-dimensional optical imaging (3DO), a user-friendly technology capable of rapidly obtaining reliable anthropometric measurements and to determine the validity of the new Army one-site body fat equations using 3DO-derived abdominal circumference. Ninety-six participants (51 F, 45 M; age: 23·7 ± 6·5 years; BMI: 24·7 ± 4·1 kg/m) were assessed using 3DO, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and a 4-compartment model (4C).

The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX®) is a widely utilized country-specific calculator for identifying individuals with high fracture risk; its score is calculated from 12 variables, but its formulation is not publicly disclosed. We aimed to decompose and simplify the FRAX® by utilizing a nationwide community survey database as a reference module for creating a local assessment tool for osteoporotic fracture community screening in any country. Participants ( = 16384; predominantly women (75%); mean age = 64.

Body composition assessment plays a pivotal role in understanding health, disease risk, and treatment efficacy. This narrative review explores two primary aspects: imaging techniques, namely ultrasound (US) and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and mobile health apps in telehealth for body composition. Although US is valuable for assessing subcutaneous fat and muscle thickness, DXA accurately quantifies bone mineral content, fat mass, and lean mass.
