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.

Tanita BC-601: when to consider it

BC-601 is a segmental scale for tracking fat and muscle mass in five body regions. Its display sits on a pull-up handle and results can be stored on an SD card. Weight capacity is 150 kg; consistent preparation and interpretation matter when comparing changes.

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.
