Bodystat 1500 vs Tanita RD-545HR

Bodystat 1500 and Tanita RD-545HR: 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.

Tanita RD-545HR: when to consider it

RD-545HR uses dual-frequency segmental BIA with a handle and app connection. It provides fat, muscle and regional results as well as heart rate. HR distinguishes it from the original RD-545; a scale’s bone-mass estimate is distinct from bone densitometry.

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.
