BODY FAT MEASURING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF EASILY AND ACCURATELY MEASURING VISCERAL FAT AMOUNT

摘要

A body fat measuring apparatus includes: an upper limb unit including a hold portion that can be held in a hand of a subject and a main portion; and a lower limb electrode to be contacted with a lower limb of the subject. The hold portion includes an upper limb electrode, and the main portion includes a first surface to be contacted with a surface of an abdomen of the subject as well as a pair of first electrodes and a pair of second electrodes arranged at the first surface. The body fat measuring apparatus calculates a visceral fat amount of the subject based on two types of potential differences that are detected respectively in a case where an electric current is applied via a pair of the upper and lower limb electrodes and a case where an electric current is applied via the pair of second electrodes as well as physical data of the subject.
