InBody 270 vs Tanita RD-545HR

InBody 270 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.

InBody 270: when to consider it

The original InBody270 gives a quick overview of fat, muscle and their distribution. It suits regular diet and training consultations, including testing at different locations. Its output coverage differs from the newer 270S.

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.
