How it measures
BIA measures electrical impedance. A model uses this to estimate body composition, including fat and fat-free mass. InBody is a BIA brand, not a separate method. Fluid status can influence the result.
Benefits
- Compare the documented model specifications before choosing a provider.
What the device does not tell you
- 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.
Compare devices
For tracking change, ask about using the same device and procedure and having the results explained. For clinical examination, confirm referral and booking requirements with the provider. Differences between methods are not automatically changes in your body.
Preparation and comparability
Follow the specific device manual and provider instructions. For repeat BIA, keep time of day and food, activity and fluid conditions similar. Ask the provider about suitability and safety, especially during pregnancy or with implanted electronic devices.

What to check before choosing
Distinguish 270 from 270S when booking. For following fat and muscle, the original 270 provides the basic outputs. Whole-body phase angle requires the 270S or another model that lists it.
Exact-model history
The official Japanese timeline dates this folding InBody270 to 2016. Czech availability is documented in 2017. The 2016 date is not verified as its worldwide or Czech launch.
