About this test

This is a body composition scan rather than a blood test. It measures seven things: BMI, BMR (the calories your body needs at rest), overall body composition, bone mass, metabolic age, visceral fat, and muscle mass. Bluecrest's own description notes that visceral fat levels relate to risk factors for conditions such as diabetes and heart disease, though this test only measures the levels themselves rather than assessing or diagnosing any condition.

For clinical depth, the seven measures here place it in the 10th percentile among the metabolism and weight tests we track, so it is a lighter panel than most in this category despite covering several distinct measures. The value for money score is high here, since £40 compares with an £83 median for similarly sized metabolism tests we track. It scores lower on results and follow-up, since there is no doctor review as standard, and the fact sheet does not state a turnaround time for this test.

The scan is done in person at a Bluecrest venue rather than by post, and the fact sheet does not specify the exact device or sample type used beyond an in-person measurement.

Who is it for?

This could suit you if you want a wider snapshot of body composition, such as visceral fat, bone and muscle mass, alongside BMI, rather than a bathroom-scale weight reading alone. It may particularly interest people tracking a weight-loss or fitness programme, or older adults wanting to keep an eye on muscle mass, since these are the uses Bluecrest's own description highlights. There is no other body composition test from another provider in our data to compare it with directly on price or depth.

How it works

This is an in-person measurement taken at a Bluecrest venue rather than a lab sample; the fact sheet does not specify the exact device or sample type used. Bluecrest does not state a turnaround time for this test, and results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers seven distinct measures, including visceral fat, bone mass and metabolic age, not just weight or BMI.
  • At £40, priced well below the £83 median for similarly sized metabolism tests we track.
  • In-person scan rather than a blood draw or stool or urine sample.

Cons

  • No stated turnaround time for results.
  • No doctor review of results as standard.
  • The fact sheet does not specify the exact device or sample type used for the scan.
  • Fewer biomarkers than most metabolism tests we track, in the 10th percentile for depth in this category.
