Abstract:
An apparatus for analyzing body composition based on bioelectrical impedance analysis, and a method therefor are disclosed. The method for analyzing body composition includes the step of providing eight electrodes for being contacted to a right palm, a right thumb, a left palm, a left thumb, a right front sole, a right rear sole, a left front sole and a left rear sole. Then a switch is selected by a command of a micro-processor so as to form a current path. Then a current is made to flow through said selected electrodes and through a human body to an impedance measuring instrument. Then a switch is selected by a command of said micro-processor so as to form voltage electrodes. Then impedances for respective body portions are measured by means of the impedance measuring instrument. Then impedances of two body portions are decided based on the current and voltage of the impedance measuring instrument. Then the body composition is analyzed based on the measured impedance.
