Comparison

InBody 720 vs InBody 970S

InBody 720 and InBody 970S: compare documented specifications, features and limitations. Check the reports and explanation offered by the provider. More features alone do not establish better accuracy.

InBody 720: when to consider it

An older detailed analyzer for following body composition and water during nutrition or sports programmes. Research mode adds regional phase angles; your report’s scope depends on the location’s settings.

InBody 970S: when to consider it

For a comprehensive consultation when you want to follow water distribution and phase angles alongside fat and muscle. This newer 970 generation offers detailed outputs for clinical, nutrition, sports and research settings.

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.
