摘要:
A method and apparatus capable of measuring visceral fat tissues accumulated in the trunk with high accuracy apply a current to a body part where a subcutaneous fat tissue layer is thin or a body part where a skeletal muscle tissue layer has no or a thin muscle belly portion from a pair of current applying electrodes, measure a potential difference which has occurred in the tissue through which the current has passed by a pair of voltage measuring electrodes, and determine the visceral fat tissue volume of the trunk by use of the impedance of the trunk which has been obtained by use of the measured potential difference.

Disclosed is an apparatus for assuming the information on the amount accumulated visceral fat in a human body with a high degree of accuracy. It comprises: at least a unit for collecting pieces of information on the identification of the human body (1) and a unit for collecting pieces of information on breathing function (2), thereby making the visceral fat accumulation calculating unit (4) provide the information on the amount accumulated visceral fat based on the so collected pieces of information.

摘要:
A current applying electrode is placed on at least one body part which is highly useful in estimating a subcutaneous fat tissue volume on the truncal abdominal circumference, the other current applying electrode is placed on a body part protruding from the trunk, a voltage measuring electrode is placed in the vicinity of the one current applying electrode on the truncal abdominal circumference, and the other voltage measuring electrode is placed on a body part protruding from the trunk which is different from the body part on which the other current applying electrode is placed, to measure the impedance of the trunk so as to acquire the subcutaneous fat tissue layer information of the trunk. A shared electrode serving as a current applying electrode out of a current applying electrode pair and a voltage measuring electrode out of a voltage measuring electrode pair and having a wide electrode area is placed on the trunk and the other current applying electrode and the other voltage measuring electrode are placed on the extremities to measure the impedance of the trunk.
