COMPARE HEART DISEASE RISK SUMMARY*
Your heart disease risks an estimate of the likelihood of existing
ag narrowing of your arteries due to coronary artery disease (CAD). If
your coronary arteries narraw, they can't supply enough axygen-rich
blood to your heart — especially when it's beating hard, such as
during exercise,
Because CAD often develops over decades, you may not notice a
problem until you have a significant blockage or a heart attack

T2D RISK SUMMARY*
Your T2D risk score calculates the probability of having or
developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). This statistical model is grounded
in comprehensive real-world data
Ascore of 50 suggests that, among people sharing similar body
compositions, 50% have T2D or will develop it aver time. Higher
scores denote higher probabilities.
72D symptoms often pragress slowly and subtly. Consequently,
many are living with T2D without knowing it for years.

LONGEVITY SUMMARY*
Your Longevity Scare™ is an estimate of your statistically likely
lifespan based on a heuristic algorithm developed using peer
reviewed madical literature. It gets more accurate with more inputs
and helps you gain a deeper understanding of your overall health
The Score encompasses all populations, including those that die
due to accidents or acute illnesses, While it adeptly tracks your long
term preventable health risks, it does not precisely predict your life
expectancy. Instead, it serves as a close approximation to help you
make informed decisions and quickly see if those decisions have a
net positive or negative effect on your health.*IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
The DexaFit Dx test is designed for informational purposes as a general risk assessment tool and has,
not been cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at this time. DexaFit, Inc
developed the DexaFit Dx test utilizing a substantial database of de-identified DXA, VO2 max, and
resting metabolic rate (RMR) data from as early as 2014. Through retrospective analysis and the
application of artificial intelligence (Al), the DexaFit Dx Al system was trained with over 5 billion real-
world data points to evaluate risk factors and prevalence of diseases, with a particular focus on coronary,
artery disease (CAD). It should not be used or interpreted as a definitive diagnosis of CAD, type 2
diabetes (T2D), or any other chronic conditions. If you have any concerns about your DexaFit Dx test
results after receiving them, we strongly recommend seeking professional guidance or additional
testing from a qualified healthcare provider
FAQS
What is coronary artery disease?
Coronary artery disease (CAD) isa narrowing or blockage
of your Coronary arteries, usually due to plaque buildup.
Your coronary arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your Meaty acy
heart. Plaque buildup in these arteries limits how much
blood can reach your heart. »
Intsiraty Desens
Picture two traffic lanes that merge into one due to
construction. Traffic keeps flawing, just more slowly. With
CAD, you might not notice anything is wrong until the
plaque triggers a bload clot. The blood clot is like a
concrete barrier in the middle of the road. Traffic stops.
Similarly, blood can't reach your heart, and this causes a Near Complete
heart attack. sestoge
\
\
You might have CAD for many years and not have any symptoms until you experience a heart attack
That's why CAD is a ‘silent killer.”
Other names for CAD include coronary heart disease (CHD) and ischemic heart disease. It's also what
most people mean when they use the general term “heart disease.”
How common is coronary artery disease?
CAD is the leading cause of death in the U.S. and around the world. This is true for both males
and fernales
How does CAD affect my body?
The main complication of coronary artery disease is a heart attack.
This is a medical emergency that can be fatal. Your heart muscle
starts to die because it’s not receiving enough blood. You need
prompt medical attention to restore blood flow to your heart and
save your life.
Over the years, CAD can also weaken your heart and lead to
complications, including:
+ Arrhythmias (like atrial fibrillation). Cardiac arrest.
+ Cardiogenic shock.
+ Heart failure.
=What causes coronary artery disease?
Atherosclerosis causes coronary artery disease, Atherosclerosis is the gradual buildup of plaque in
arteries throughout your body. When the plaque affects blood flow in your coronary arteries, you have
coronary artery disease.
Plaque consists of cholesterol, waste products, calcium and fibrin (a substance that helps your blood
clot). As plaque continues to collect along your artery walls, your arteries become narrow and stiff.
Plaque can clog or damage your arteries, which limits or stops blood flow to a certain part of your body.
When plaque builds up in your coronary arteries, your heart muscle can’t receive enough blood. So, your
heart can't get the oxygen and nutrients it needs to work properly. This condition is called myocardial
ischemia. It leads to chest discomfort (angina) and puts you at risk for a heart attack.
What are the symptoms of coronary artery disease?
Angina, or chest pain and discomfort, is the most common symptom of CAD. Angina can happen when
too much plaque builds up inside arteries, causing them to narrow. Narrowed arteries can cause chest
pain because they can block blood flow to your heart muscle and the rest of your body.
For many people, the first clue that they have CAD is a heart attack. Symptoms of heart attack include
+ Chest pain or discomfort (angina)
= Weakness, light-headedness, nausea (feeling sick to your stomach), or a cold sweat
+ Pain or discomfort in the arms or shoulder
+ Shortness of breath
Over time, CAD can weaken the heart muscle. This may lead to heart failure, a serious condition where
the heart can’t pump blood the way it should,
What are the risk factors for coronary artery disease?
There are many risk factors for coronary artery disease. Some you can't control. Others you may be able
to control by making lifestyle changes or taking medications. Talk with your provider about the risk
factors listed below and how you can manage them.
Risk factors you can't control (non-modifiable risk factors)
Age: As you get older, your risk for CAD goes up.
Family history: You have a higher risk if your biological family members have heart disease. It’s
especially important to learn if they have premature heart disease. This means they were diagnosed at
ayoung age
Lifestyle factors that raise your risk
+ Circadian dysregulation
+ Diet
Lack of physical activity
+ Sleep deprivation
+ Overweight or obese
+ Smoking, vaping , other tobacco use
Risk factors that affect women
+ Early menopause (before age 40),
+ Endometriosis.
- History of gestational diabetes, eclampsia or preeclampsia.
« Use of hormonal birth controlHow is coronary artery disease diagnosed?
There are four main categories of existing technology to determine existence of CAD. They are, in order
of increasing (perceived) accuracy: blood tests, noninvasive functional tests, noninvasive anatomical
testing and invasive coronary angiography. A few common methods used today are described below:

Blood Test
The most typical use of blood tests for CAD is to determine the risk of developing CAD over a set time
period.
Framingham Risk Score - Coronary Heart Disease (FRS-CHD). The score is created from results of
different blood marker levels in combination with age, blood pressure, existence of type 2 diabetes,
and whether the patient smokes.
+ Age- and sex- related gene expression score (AEGES) is used on patients with newly-diagnosed
heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFYEF)
Functional Tests:
Common functional tests used to screen for CAD include exercise ECG and stress echocardiography.
+ Exercise electrocardiogram (ECG) measures symptoms or ischemia development in response to
exercise stimuli
+ Stress echocardiography is performed through exercise or pharmacologic stimuli to increase your
heart rate to peak levels and take ultrasound images of your heart to determine whether your heart
muscles are getting enough bload and oxygen while you exercise
Anatomical Tests:
Coronary Artery Calcium Score (CACS) and Coronary CT Angiogram (CCTA) are the typical tests used
using CT, though imparting a significant amount of radiation. They are typically only used for
individuals suspected of CAD, and they would not be deemed screening methods.
+ CACSis a non-contrast CT scan with an applied simple, non-ML/A\l algorithm that looks in the
coronary arteries for calcium buildup and plague.
CCTA uses CT and contrast dye to view 3D pictures of your heart as it moves and detect blockages in
your coronary arteries.
Cardiac catheter/invasive coronary angiography (ICA):
The historical gold standard has been the ICA. During the procedure a long, thin, flexible tube called a
catheter is inserted into a blood vessel in your groin or arm. Using X-ray images as a guide, the tip of the
catheter is passed up to the heart and coronary arteries.
Asspecial type of dye called contrast medium is injected through the catheter and X-ray images
(angiograms) are taken. The contrast medium is visible on the angiograms, showing the blood vessels
the fluid travels through. This clearly highlights any blood vessels that are narrowed or blocked.
The procedure is usually carried out under local anaesthetic, so you're awake while the procedure is
carried out, but the area where the catheter is inserted will be numbed.What is the advantage of DexaFit Dx over traditional methods used to screen
for coronary artery disease?
Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer of humans every year, almost doubling the number of deaths
caused by cancer. And the most significant form of cardiovascular disease is CAD. It affects nearly half
the adult population, and for those that die from a heart attack, 60% don't see it coming because they
won't have any prior symptoms. We developed DexaFit Dx to make it possible to identify these
asymptomatic cases before it's too late.
Historically, there was no way to detect CAD
consistently without the use of invasive procedures or
CT scans with excessive radiation exposure to patients.
These options were also inappropriate for
asymptomatic cases and patients with comorbidities.
But by applying the DexaFit Dx Al system to images
from DXA full-body scans, we created a safe and
reliable way for anyone to discover their risk for CAD.
DXA is widely available due to its decades of adoption
for diagnosing osteoporosis, safe for patients, and
more importantly, easy to do and affordable.
By combining CAD and T2D detection with DXA\s original use case (diagnosing osteoporosis), DexaFit,
Dx offers a simple, safe, and affordable way to discover your risk for three of the mast common chranic
diseases impacting millions worldwide.
What are the risk factors for coronary artery disease?
The DexaFit Dx Al system was developed using real-world clinical data from a de-identified database of
DXA, VO2 max, and RMR data that measure leading indicators of all-cause mortality. The DXA scan
image pixel data and breath-by-breath gas analysis from VO2 max/RMR tests provided over 5+ billion
data paints to explore and use to train the Al systern.
Body composition parameters, including bone mineral content, lean mass, total body (BF), and visceral
fat were measured by FDA-approved DXA systems known for their clinical-grade accuracy and
precision. Oxygen consumption (VO2), carbon dioxide production (VCO2), resting energy expenditure
(REE), maximal heart rate (Max HR) and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) were measured by breath-by-
breath gas analysis using FDA-approved cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) systems. Over time,
the Al system was trained with this data to detect coronary artery disease from the DXA scan alone.
Specifically, the Al was trained to analyze the DXA images to detect anatomical features within them, as
well as processing the images to detect relationships within the tissues and the mathematical
structures in the tissues. The DXA scan images include a “skeleton” image, a “composition” image, a
“tissue” image, and a “tissue composition’ image, among others. These images contain different
information about the bone, lean, and adipose tissue at each pixel, all of which allows the Al to combine
them in ways that provide more detail than what humans see when they look at a DXA scan image.

The Al system has found that the more chaotic the distribution of lean and adipose tissue, the more
likely it is that the patient is CAD positive. In fact, bodies that are objectively on the healthiest end of the
spectrum can be so well ordered that they are indistinguishable from simple sinusoidal curves
(mathematical curve that describes a smooth periodic oscillation). Bodies that are objectively some of
the most unhealthy have what appear to be completely chaotic distributions of the density of their
tissues,How accurate is the DexaFit Dx test?
See below for a comparison of DexaFit Dx's Al to ather modalities used to screen for CAD:
Stress Echo | Overall 84-87% 72-77%
SPECT Overall 83-84% 79-85%
PET Suspected CAD 90-91% 82-91%
cAcS Suspected CAD 98-99% 35-40%
CCTA Suspected CAD 98.2% 81.6%
Sensitivity and specificity are critical metrics that assess a test's ability to correctly classify a person as
having or not having a specific disease.
Sensitivity
Sen
who will have a posi
with a disease.
ity, often referred to as the true positive rate, indicates the percentage of people with a disease
tive result in the test. A highly sensitive test is one that correctly pinpoints patients
For example, a 100% sensitive test will accurately detect all patients with the disease. However,
achieving 100% sensitivity in a clinical test is quite unusual. A test with 90% sensitivity will correctly
identify 30% of patients with tr €, but will overlook 10% of patients who indeed have the disease
Specificity
The specificity of a test, or the true negative rate, is the percentage of people without the disease who
will have a negative result. It measures the test's effectiveness in identifying patients who do not have a
disease. A test with 100% specificity will accurately determine 100% of patients who do not have the
disease, whereas a 90% specific test will correctly identify 90% of patients without the disease.
Highly specific tests are most useful when the result is positive and can efficiently confirm patients who
have a certain disease. However, it might not be practical to use a test with low specificity for screen
as many disease-free individuals may screen positive, potentially leading to unnecessary diagnostic
procedures,
Important Note: The DexaFit Dx Al does not claim to have 100% sensitivity or specificity, nor should it be
used as the sole basis for any medical decisions. There is a possibility of false positive or false negative
Furthermore, it's crucial to understand that DexaFit Dx is designed for informational purposes

Should your healthcare provider or care team confirm CAD, or
at least suspect an increased risk for it in the future, they may
suggest the following steps to help lower your risk for heart,
attack or worsening heart disease:
+ Lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthier diet, increasing
physical activity, optimizing your circadian rhythm,
improving sleep, reaching a healthy weight, and quitting
smoking
+ Medicines to treat risk factors for CAD
+ Surgical procedures to help restore blood flow to the heart
What questions should | ask my healthcare provider?
if you haven't been diagnosed with coronary artery disease, consider asking
+ What are my risk factors for coronary artery disease?
+ What can I do to lower my risk?
+ What lifestyle changes are most important for me?
