InBody R20: when to consider it

R20 was developed for home body-composition monitoring and also appears in some fitness services. It gives a basic muscle-and-fat overview. For a more detailed consultation, it matters whether the provider also uses the computer report.

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.
