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.

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.
