Baseline The critical starting point for achieving future health goals

One of the most significant benefits of having an annual physical exam is our medical teams ability to gain insight into your health. Knowing about your health condition and potential risk factors can help you set goals for yourself. One of the many ways we spot unhealthy trends during your annual visit to us each year is by establishing a baseline of health.

Baseline gives you a clinical overview of your health and keeps you informed, so that you can be more successful in achieving your health goals and maintaining the lifestyle you have dreamed of.

Baseline inform you where you stand in terms of your physical health. Shaped by your medical, social, and family history, a health baseline is continuously influenced by factors affecting your everyday life.

Your baseline health examination takes into account 2 things: existing health & illness and potential future health & illness. Even though some healthcare baseline components are more adjustable than others, it is crucial that you have a precise understanding of your present health status.

If you are healthy, hardly ever need to take medication, and don’t visit a doctor, you must be wondering why it is essential for you to visit one for an annual physical examination.

There are 2 vital components to good health: appropriate preventive care to prevent the decline of future health and suitable treatment for any current disease. Although most people keenly seek care for the latter, they frequently forget about the former.

Routine check-ups are highly beneficial. There is strong evidence that suggests that annual health examinations can help you take appropriate preventative healthcare steps to prevent the usage of prescription medications, need for hospitalization, and occurrence of medical procedures in the future. This can help save a lot of money and ensure a longer and healthier life.

Clinical blood tests

60 clinical diagnostic biomarkers for heart, lipid, liver, kidney, pancreas, thyroid, blood, electrolytes, inflammation, hormones, and metabolism.

Physiological examinations

9 vital signs including height, weight, BMI, H/T ratio, blood pressure and pulse, grip strength, lung function, and ECG, DEXA.

DNA Analysis

MTFHR genotyping

suPAR

suPAR is a biomarker that reveals your level of chronic inflammation in the body, which can provide an accurate prognosis for your current and future health. Aetas’ groundbreaking suPAR Health test allows you to monitor the effects of the lifestyle changes you implement in your daily life. The test provides valuable information about your current health status, the impact of your health efforts, and your future risk of illness.

A low score indicates that your health is good and your body is currently thriving with your current lifestyle. A high suPAR score enables you to be proactive and identify underlying causes in a timely manner. This allows you to strengthen your health through lifestyle changes and proactive disease prevention.

The examination includes 1 suPAR Health test.

Where and how does my DEXA Body Scan take place?

Both our Baseline and Health Intelligence packages include a DEXA body scan. The scan takes place at Capio Privathospital, which is located less than 100 meters from Aetas.

When you book your examination, we ensure that your DEXA scan is scheduled either before or after your appointment at Aetas, so you can go directly to Capio. In some cases, we may not be able to guarantee an appointment on the same day. You will always be informed about this by phone or email.

Preparation

DEXA body scan requires no special preparation.

However, you should avoid taking calcium or vitamin tablets on the morning of the DEXA scan.

You should not have undergone any tests involving contrast agents or radioactive drugs in the three days prior to the examination.

Please inform us if you have metal in your body, such as an artificial hip.

You should not wear jewelry during the scan.

We do not perform DEXA scans if you are pregnant. This is to avoid exposing the fetus to radiation.

Procedure

The DEXA body scan takes 20 minutes, is painless, and takes place in a large, open scanner.

You will be measured and weighed before the scan.

You may be asked to remove your clothing and wear only underwear. This is to avoid clothing with metal such as zippers or buttons.

Results

If you have booked a scan in connection with a health examination at Aetas, you will receive the results of your DEXA body scan during the follow-up consultation.

A radiologist will analyze the images. The radiologist will then send a signed report to our doctor, who will interpret the results and discuss them with you.

Address

Entrance A at Tuborg Boulevard 1, 2900 Hellerup.

Public transport

Buses 164, 1A, 21, and 23 stop near the hospital on Strandvejen.

Parking

There is free parking with no time limit in front of the hospital and 2-hour zones in certain areas. When you arrive, please report to the reception and announce your arrival. From there, you can take either the stairs or the elevator to the second floor, where you should take a seat in the waiting room. A radiographer will fetch you when it is your turn.

If you have trouble finding your way, please call Capio at the following phone number: +4539777070

If you have questions about your health examination at Aetas, you can contact us via our contact form or by phone at +45 707 70 74 64.

Health risks associated with DEXA Body Scan

Radiation risk from DEXA scan

DEXA scanning is an X-ray examination that emits a very low radiation dose. Radiation dose is measured in Sievert (Sv) and represents the amount of energy the body absorbs during the examination. Normally, the radiation dose is expressed in millisievert (mSv), where 1 Sv equals 1,000 mSv. A typical DEXA scan results in around 0.001 mSv of radiation dose, depending on the protocol and scanner type.

For comparison, the annual natural background radiation in Denmark is approximately 3 mSv, and a DEXA scan is equivalent to about 3 hours of natural background radiation or 0.001 mSv.

If you are pregnant, please contact us beforehand.

Cancer risk from DEXA scan

A radiation dose of 0.001 mSv from a DEXA scan is below the assessed risk dose, and the risk of cancer is therefore considered to be zero.

What are the benefits and limitations of DEXA Body Scan?

DEXA body scan can provide important information about your body composition. It can accurately measure the percentage of body fat and its distribution in the body, including around the organs (visceral fat). In addition, DEXA body scan can measure muscle mass and its distribution in the body, providing a good indication of muscle strength and function.

In addition to body composition, a DEXA scan can also be used to measure bone density, which is important for assessing the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures. Aetas health packages do not include bone scanning, but this can be purchased additionally. Read more about DEXA osteoporosis scan here.

Limitations of DEXA body scan

DEXA body scan cannot provide specific diagnoses regarding diseases such as cancer or cardiovascular diseases. However, it may potentially indicate your risk of developing disease, such as having too much visceral fat.

Although the scan can show the amount of visceral fat, it is not always precise enough to show the exact location of fat within specific organs or deeper tissue layers.

Follow-up DEXA scans should be performed at the same location and ideally with the same machine, as measurements on different machines cannot always be directly compared.
