InBody R20: when to consider it

R20 was developed for home body-composition monitoring and also appears in some fitness services. It gives a basic muscle-and-fat overview. For a more detailed consultation, it matters whether the provider also uses the computer report.

Tanita BC-601: when to consider it

BC-601 is a segmental scale for tracking fat and muscle mass in five body regions. Its display sits on a pull-up handle and results can be stored on an SD card. Weight capacity is 150 kg; consistent preparation and interpretation matter when comparing changes.

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.
