InBody 270S: when to consider it

InBody270S adds whole-body phase angle to routine fat-and-muscle tracking. It is useful if you want to discuss this extra measure in a consultation. Phase angle needs context from your condition and other results, rather than serving as a stand-alone health grade.

InBody 520: when to consider it

An older model for following fat, muscle and water during nutrition or exercise changes, and for understanding past results. Includes ECW/TBW and lean-mass distribution across the arms, legs and trunk.

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.
