Why DEXA for Little Havana

The scale lies. DEXA tells the truth.

Type 2 diabetes and heart disease run through too many Little Havana families, and visceral fat — the fat around your organs — is the earliest measurable warning sign. A DEXA scan isolates it precisely, so you can act on a number instead of a family history.

At Strong Health Miami, you get the same scan technology used in clinical research, performed at our Brickell clinic, with results you can use to track real progress on TRT, GLP-1 weight loss, peptide therapy, or your own training.

1–2% margin of error vs. 5–8% for BIA scales
Region-by-region breakdown (arms, legs, trunk)
Bone density scoring (T-score, Z-score)
Visceral fat measurement, not just total body fat
FDA-approved, low-dose, repeatable for trend data

Every scan includes total and regional body fat, pound-precise lean mass by limb, visceral fat, bone density (T-score and Z-score), and left-right symmetry analysis — see the full report breakdown on the DEXA Scan Miami page, or the science behind it in our complete DEXA guide.

Little Havana Patient Review
Verified Patient

My father and both uncles are diabetic. My DEXA showed my visceral fat was already in the warning zone at 34 — nobody could see it, I'm not heavy. A year of work later it's down 40%. Eight minutes from my place off Calle Ocho. Best money I've spent on my health.

Little Havana DEXA FAQs

DEXA scan questions from Little Havana

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I get a DEXA scan near Little Havana?
Strong Health's Brickell clinic at 1000 Brickell Plaza is about 2.5 miles east of Domino Park — an 8-minute drive down SW 8th Street, or a Route 8 Metrobus ride into Brickell. Walk-ins are welcome, and direct-pay pricing keeps body composition scans under $200 for most patients.
Why does visceral fat matter for Little Havana patients?
Visceral fat — fat stored around the organs — is the strongest body-composition predictor of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular risk, both of which disproportionately affect Cuban-American and broader Hispanic communities. DEXA measures it directly, separately from the subcutaneous fat you can pinch, so you and your physician can track real metabolic risk.
Do I need insurance for a DEXA scan?
No. Body composition DEXA scans at Strong Health are direct-pay with transparent pricing — no insurance, referral, or prior authorization needed. Most patients pay under $200 per scan. Bone-density scans for osteoporosis screening may be covered by insurance for eligible patients.
How much does a DEXA scan cost for Little Havana patients?
The same transparent direct-pay pricing as every Strong Health scan: most patients pay under $200 per body composition scan, with bundled pricing available if you plan to track progress across multiple scans per year. No referral or insurance is needed. Bone density DEXA scans (for osteoporosis screening) may be covered by insurance for eligible patients.

General questions — what the scan measures, how to prepare, safety — are answered on the DEXA Scan Miami page and in our full DEXA guide.
