Abstract

The present invention provides a body component meter which can easily and correctly measure the thickness of the subcutaneous fat at the abdomen, the thigh part, the upper arm part and the like measured parts. It is composed of the following components: a weight machine (2) which measures the body weight of the testee standing on the upper side; and a measuring unit (3) which is independent from the weighting machine (2); the measuring unit (3) is provided with the following components: a measuring used electrode (9) which contacts with the body of the testee and is used to measure the body impedance; and a sebum depth measuring part (12) which is used to measure the subcutaneous fat of the measuring part (20) of the testee. It is provided with a communication mechanism which does communication between the weighting machine (2) and the measuring unit (3). And it is also provided with a control part which simultaneously displays the measuring result on the display part (10) according to the test result which is tested by the weighting machine (2) or measuring unit (3) and is relative to the body composition.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a body composition meter for measuring information on the body composition of a human body. Background technique

[0002] As a conventional body composition meter, as shown in Patent Document 1, etc., there is a body weight meter with an impedance measurement function provided with electrodes for measuring the body impedance of the subject. The body contact measurement electrode passes a weak current between the feet or hands of the subject to measure the body impedance, and based on the measurement data measured by the scale or the measurement electrode, the body fat rate, etc. The measurement results of the composition are displayed on the display.

[0003] However, although the measurement electrodes in the above-mentioned body composition meter can estimate the fat mass of the whole body from the measured body impedance, it is impossible to measure the subcutaneous fat mass and the visceral fat mass of the human bo...
