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.

An older detailed analyzer for following body composition and water during nutrition or sports programmes. Research mode adds regional phase angles; your report’s scope depends on the location’s settings.
