InBody 120 vs InBody R20
InBody 120 and InBody R20: compare documented specifications, features and limitations. Check the reports and explanation offered by the provider. More features alone do not establish better accuracy.
InBody 120: when to consider it
InBody120 is useful for following fat and muscle while changing your diet or activity. A meaningful consultation benefits from the full computer-generated report; the small display shows only part of the results.
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.
