Abstract

A body composition measuring apparatus for calculating one or multiple types of body composition data is provided with a CPU configured to perform the following processes. The CPU sets second information indicating physical characteristics of a human subject. The CPU measures the bioelectrical impedance of the human subject by a voltage measurement circuit. The CPU obtains at least one piece of first information from each of at least one recording medium having recorded thereon the at least one piece of the first information necessary for calculating body composition data indicating a particular type of body composition, and calculates body composition data indicating a type of body composition corresponding to each of the at least one piece of the first information based on the at least one piece of the first information obtained by the information obtainer, the second information, and the bioelectrical impedance.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a body composition measurement device and a body composition measurement system for measuring the body composition of a living body. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known a body composition measuring device having a function for measuring body composition data representing the body composition of a subject based on a bioelectrical impedance measurement method (bioelectrical impedance analysis: BIA). Body composition data measurable with such a body composition measurement device include various types of body composition data such as body fat percentage, lean body mass, visceral fat area, basal metabolic rate, bone mass, basal metabolism, and the like. [0003] In a body composition measurement device having a measurement function of many of these types of body composition data, a large number of types of body composition data are calculated as measurement results. Therefore, the operation of sele...
