InBody 370: when to consider it

The older InBody370 provides a clear comparison of fat, muscle and their distribution across repeat visits. Results also cover individual limbs. An explanation helps you decide which findings matter for your diet or activity.

Tanita MC-780MA: when to consider it

MC-780MA is a multi-frequency segmental BIA analyser. The manufacturer catalogue lists fat, muscle and body-water estimates with regional results and SD-card storage. MA alone still does not distinguish the column-mounted P and separate S configurations.

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.
