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.

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.
