InBody 170: when to consider it

The older InBody170 provides a basic overview for weight loss and muscle-building goals. It can also help you follow existing measurements: a consultation can examine changes in fat, muscle and their distribution.

InBody R20: when to consider it

R20 was developed for home body-composition monitoring and also appears in some fitness services. It gives a basic muscle-and-fat overview. For a more detailed consultation, it matters whether the provider also uses the computer report.

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.
