InBody 770: when to consider it

For detailed nutrition or clinical consultations and training follow-up. Alongside fat and muscle, it provides a dedicated water report, water distribution and phase angles. Testing takes place standing up.

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.
