Comparison

InBody 580 vs InBody 970S

InBody 580 and InBody 970S: 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 970S: when to consider it

For a comprehensive consultation when you want to follow water distribution and phase angles alongside fat and muscle. This newer 970 generation offers detailed outputs for clinical, nutrition, sports and research 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.
