Problems solved by technology

[0012] However, in Patent Documents 1 to 3, it is not disclosed to calculate visceral fat mass by actively obtaining information on subcutaneous fat mass
Therefore, the problem is that the influence of subcutaneous fat in the abdomen cannot be avoided, and it cannot be accurately measured
In addition, Patent Document 4 does not describe the point of obtaining the amount of visceral fat

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0067]

[0068] (about appearance)

[0069] refer to figure 1 , The body fat measurement device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes an upper limb unit 1 , a lower limb unit 2 , and a wire 3 electrically connecting the upper limb unit 1 and the lower limb unit 2 .

[0070] The upper limb unit 1 includes a main body 110 and handles 121 and 122 that can be held by both hands of the subject. The handle 121 is a handle for the left hand, and has electrodes H1 and H3 for contacting the subject's left palm. The handle 122 is a handle for the right hand, and has electrodes H2 and H4 for contacting the right palm of the subject. The electrodes H1 and H2 are electrodes for applying current, and the electrodes H3 and h4 are electrodes for detecting voltage.

[0071] The main body 110 has a surface 130 for contacting the abdominal surface of the subject, and electrodes A, B, C, and D arranged on the surface 130 . In the present embodiment, the sur...

no. 2 approach

[0159] In the body fat measurement device 100 of the first embodiment, only one row of abdominal electrodes is arranged on the surface 130 of the upper limb unit 1 , but in the second embodiment, a plurality of rows of abdominal electrodes are arranged on the upper limb unit. Main differences from the first embodiment will be described below.

[0160] refer to Figure 13 In the upper limb unit 1A of the body fat measurement device 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, two rows of abdominal electrodes E1 and E2 are arranged on the surface 130A of the second housing 112A constituting the main body 110A. The abdominal electrode E1 includes four electrodes A11, B11, C11, and D11, and the abdominal electrode E2 includes four electrodes A12, B12, C12, and D12. Such two rows of abdominal electrodes E1 and E2 are arranged at positions separated from each other by a predetermined distance. In addition, the electrodes constituting the abdominal electrodes E1...

no. 3 approach

[0184] In the body fat measurement device 100 of the first embodiment, on the surface 130 of the upper limb unit 1 , one row of abdominal electrodes includes four electrodes (two pairs of electrodes). In the third embodiment, the abdominal electrodes include three or more pairs of electrodes or five or more electrodes. The main difference between this and the first embodiment will be described below.

[0185] refer to Figure 18 In the upper limb unit 1B of the body fat measurement device 100B according to the third embodiment of the present invention, on the surface 130B of the second frame body 112B constituting the main body 110B, substantially arc-shaped electrodes are arranged sequentially from the upper side. A21, B21, C21, D21, D22, C22, B22, A22. The electrodes A21 , B21 , C21 , and D21 are arranged so that the upper end direction of the surface 130B becomes the arc side. In addition, the electrodes D22 , C22 , B22 , and A22 are respectively arranged so that the low...

Abstract

The invention relates to a body fat measuring device which comprises a holding portion, an upper limb unit of a body portion and a lower limb electrode, wherein the holding portion can be held with ahand of a subject, and the lower limb electrode is used for contacting with a lower limb of the subject. The holding portion is provided with an upper limb electrode, the body portion is provided witha first surface, a pair of first electrodes and a pair of second electrodes, the first surface is used for contacting with the abdomen surface of the subject, and the first electrodes and the secondelectrodes are arranged on the first surface. According to the body fat measuring device, the visceral fat amount of the subject is calculated according to two potential differences and physique information of the subject, and applied current conditions are detected by the upper limb electrode, the lower limb electrode and the second electrodes to obtain the potential differences.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a body fat measurement device and an upper limb unit, and more particularly to a body fat measurement device and an upper limb unit capable of measuring visceral fat mass by an impedance method. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, the measurement of the visceral fat mass has been performed by actual measurement on an abdominal cross-section by X-ray CT (Computed Tomography). Therefore, there is a problem that visceral fat mass can be measured only in medical institutions equipped with X-ray CT equipment. Even MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) can take the same abdominal tomographic images as X-ray CT, but the need for large-scale equipment remains unchanged. Therefore, the subject himself cannot easily measure the visceral fat mass at home. [0003] Therefore, as a method for simply measuring visceral fat mass, the impedance method has been proposed in recent years. [0004] For example, JP-A-7-79938 (herein...
