Bodystat 1500 vs Nutriguard-MS

Bodystat 1500 and Nutriguard-MS: compare documented specifications, features and limitations. Check the reports and explanation offered by the provider. More features alone do not establish better accuracy.

Bodystat 1500: when to consider it

Bodystat 1500 is a portable 50 kHz BIA analyser. Using entered weight, height and other information, it estimates fat, fat-free mass and total body water. Hand-and-foot electrode testing is supine; this designation is distinct from 1500MDD.

Nutriguard-MS: when to consider it

Nutriguard-MS measures bioelectrical impedance at 5, 50 and 100 kHz. Standard testing uses four adhesive electrodes on the hand and foot of one side. Body-composition and water estimates are evaluated from resistance and reactance using the relevant software; regional mode requires the appropriate procedure.

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.
