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 270S: when to consider it

InBody270S adds whole-body phase angle to routine fat-and-muscle tracking. It is useful if you want to discuss this extra measure in a consultation. Phase angle needs context from your condition and other results, rather than serving as a stand-alone health grade.

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.
