Why does Metabolic health and fitness matter?
One of the most powerful indicators of how long and how well you’ll live is something called VO2 max — a measure of how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise. In simple terms, it reflects how fit your heart, lungs, and muscles are. The higher your VO2 max, the better your body is at delivering oxygen where it’s needed, especially during physical activity.
Why does that matter? Because people with a high VO2 max are far less likely to die early. In fact, those in the top category of VO2 max have five times lower risk of death compared to those in the lowest category. And even small improvements make a big difference — boosting your VO2 max by just a little can lower your risk of death by 12–15%.
Metabolic health is just as important. It affects how your body manages energy, weight, and your risk for chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease. A DEXA scan can help you understand your body from the inside out by measuring things like muscle mass, belly fat, and bone strength. These numbers give you a clear picture of your health — and help you make smarter decisions to improve it.
