Comparison

InBody 270S vs InBody 580

InBody 270S 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.

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 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.
