EVERYONE should get a full blood fat panel, triglycerides, total cholesterol HDL, LDL

DEXA and MRI scans plus Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis are also useful for monitoring the ratio of bone (or for BIA water) muscle and fat, and can detect fat loss before it becomes visible.  MRI, tis expensive, others, much cheaper.
