Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is commonly used to assess body fat and is also a gold-standard method for the evaluation of osteoporosis as it can measure bone mineral density in addition to body composition. Underwater weighing and air displacement are also commonly used to assess body fat, but they do not provide information on bone mineral density. Bioelectrical impedance is less accurate than DXA for both body composition and bone mineral density measurements.
