Mixed DEXA scan results, like yours, is called Discordance. By searching with that word you might find more articles applicable to your situation. For example the below referenced article discusses discordance in general.

I also have discordant DEXA results and, like yours, my spine is my better result.

@ I heard that getting DEXA results from different machines ,or even the same machine operated by another person can be quite different…are there other tests that are more consistent ?

@kfhoz Thank you for responding. I have found information on discordant results between
hips and spine, but not so much on the spine vs. arm. Will keep looking though!
I am glad my spine seems good at least.
