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.

OMRON BF511: when to consider it

BF511 is a scale with eight sensors contacting hands and feet. It uses 50 kHz BIA to estimate body-fat percentage, skeletal-muscle percentage and visceral-fat level alongside weight and BMI. It provides a whole-body overview; separate limb results are not documented.

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.
