Comparison

InBody 520 vs InBody 720

InBody 520 and InBody 720: compare documented specifications, features and limitations. Check the reports and explanation offered by the provider. More features alone do not establish better accuracy.

InBody 520: when to consider it

An older model for following fat, muscle and water during nutrition or exercise changes, and for understanding past results. Includes ECW/TBW and lean-mass distribution across the arms, legs and trunk.

InBody 720: when to consider it

An older detailed analyzer for following body composition and water during nutrition or sports programmes. Research mode adds regional phase angles; your report’s scope depends on the location’s settings.

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.
