Comparison

InBody 770 vs seca mBCA Alpha

InBody 770 and seca mBCA Alpha: compare documented specifications, features and limitations. Check the reports and explanation offered by the provider. More features alone do not establish better accuracy.

InBody 770: when to consider it

For detailed nutrition or clinical consultations and training follow-up. Alongside fat and muscle, it provides a dedicated water report, water distribution and phase angles. Testing takes place standing up.

seca mBCA Alpha: when to consider it

mBCA Alpha is an eight-point BIA analyser using nine frequencies. Documentation lists a 24-second recording, 360 kg capacity and fat, skeletal-muscle mass and phase-angle outputs. The Alpha configuration contains the mBCA 554 platform and mBCA 545 handle.

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.
