Comparison

InBody 970 vs OMRON BF511

InBody 970 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 970: when to consider it

InBody 970/970S is a professional series for segmental body-composition analysis, including body water and phase angle. The variants differ in frequencies and testing time; location details identify the exact model.

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.

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.
