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.

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.

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.
