Bodystat 1500 vs InBody 580

Bodystat 1500 and InBody 580: compare documented specifications, features and limitations. Check the reports and explanation offered by the provider. More features alone do not establish better accuracy.

Bodystat 1500: when to consider it

Bodystat 1500 is a portable 50 kHz BIA analyser. Using entered weight, height and other information, it estimates fat, fat-free mass and total body water. Hand-and-foot electrode testing is supine; this designation is distinct from 1500MDD.

InBody 580: when to consider it

For following fat and muscle with more detail about individual body regions. At a gym, nutrition practice or clinic, regional water ratios and phase angles add context to your consultation.

Fat-free mass is not pure muscle mass. A single result is not a diagnosis. Different devices and similarly named metrics may use definitions that are not interchangeable.
