InBody 170: when to consider it

The older InBody170 provides a basic overview for weight loss and muscle-building goals. It can also help you follow existing measurements: a consultation can examine changes in fat, muscle and their distribution.

InBody 230: when to consider it

InBody230 is an older model you may encounter at nutrition practices. It helps put weight changes in the context of fat and muscle. Testing is most useful with results explained and compared with previous visits.

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.
