Comparison

InBody 580 vs InBody 720

InBody 580 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 580: when to consider it

For following fat and muscle with more detail about individual body regions. At a gym, nutrition practice or clinic, regional water ratios and phase angles add context to your consultation.

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.
