Disclosed is a device for measuring body fat of an animal. Embodiments include an input unit for entering individual information of the animal, a bioelectric impedance input unit for measuring the bioelectric impedance of the animal, and a morphological measurement value input unit for entering morphological measurement values for the girth and length of the body of the animal. An impedance-based calculation unit calculates a body fat rate based on the bioelectric impedance, and a morphological measurement value-based calculation unit calculates the body fat rate based on the morphological measurement values. A calculation switching unit checks to determine whether the resulting bioelectric impedance is proper, and automatically switches between the impedance-based calculation unit and the morphological measurement value-based calculation unit depending on the result of the determination.

A CPU (134) of a body composition measuring apparatus (100) drives a navel position indicator (118) so that it emits light. The height of a frame (114) is adjusted so that a beam of light from navel position indicator (118) irradiates the navel of a human subject. Plural sensors (106) are mounted on the frame (114), and each sensor measures a distance from the sensor to a position to be measured, whereby the abdominal width (X) of the human subject is determined. Subsequently, CPU (134) obtains measured values of weight (W) and bioelectrical impedance (Z). CPU (134) then reads an equation for calculating the visceral fat area and estimates the visceral fat area (Y) based on the measured abdominal width (X), weight (W), bioelectrical impedance (Z), and the equation.

A CPU (170) of a human subject index estimation apparatus (1) computes a waist circumference based on body weight measured by a weight scale (110) and bioelectric impedance measured by a bioelectric impedance measurement unit (200A), and information such as age and height which was input through input unit (150). The computed waist circumference is stored, along with the information such as age and height, in a third storage unit (140) that is a rewritable non-volatile memory. The CPU (170) displays the waist circumference on display unit (160).
摘要:
An abdomen width determiner determines an abdomen width value of a human subject. A memory stores a correlation between abdomen width values and waist circumferences of human beings. A waist circumference calculator calculates a waist circumference of the human subject on the basis of the abdomen width value determined by the abdomen width determiner and the correlation stored in the memory. The correlation stored in the memory may be expressed by the following regression formula: Y=aX+b where “Y” is a waist circumference of a human being, “X” is an abdomen width value of a human being, and “a” and “b” are constants.
