InBody 380 vs OMRON BF511

InBody 380 and OMRON BF511: compare documented specifications, features and limitations. Check the reports and explanation offered by the provider. More features alone do not establish better accuracy.

InBody 380: when to consider it

For following fat and muscle changes at a gym, nutrition practice or mobile testing event. Adds a body-water ratio and whole-body phase angle to the usual overview for discussion during a consultation.

OMRON BF511: when to consider it

BF511 is a scale with eight sensors contacting hands and feet. It uses 50 kHz BIA to estimate body-fat percentage, skeletal-muscle percentage and visceral-fat level alongside weight and BMI. It provides a whole-body overview; separate limb results are not documented.
