In a display section, a measured value of information of a living body is displayed on a measured data display section, and a figure representing a human body including body parts such as arm and leg is displayed on a body display section. For example, a percentage of muscle and a percentage of body fat measured 30 days ago and a current percentage of muscle and percentage of body fat are compared with each other, and respective increase / decrease values are displayed on the measured data display section as well as the measured values. Further, a color of illumination in the background of the body display section is changed depending on a degree of the increase / decrease value. For example, the background of the body display section is illuminated in red when the percentage of muscle is decreased by a % or more, blue when increased by a % or more, and green when a percentage of variation is less than a % in comparing current data with data measured 30 days ago.

A method for separating lean meat from lean meat-containing material, includes combining a particulate material with fluid, subcritical carbon dioxide at a pH of about 7 or less and a pressure of about 600 psig.

The inventor has discovered that (−)-hydroxycitric acid (including the forms of its various salts) is useful for treating and ameliorating cachexia, health-threatening catabolism and unhealthful weight loss, such as is characteristic of sarcopenia. The dosage will depend on factors such as the starting weight of the individual and the percentage of the calories in the diet derived from fats. On a 30 percent fat diet, an efficacious daily dosage for most individuals will be between 250 mg and 3 grams per day. It may prove beneficial to deliver the desired dosage only once per day, preferably prior to the noon meal. The weight-gain effects of HCA are compromised by the actions compounds such as caffeine and ephedrine, hence these should be avoided. Due to the biphasic characteristics of HCA, there is an obvious overlap between dosages that can lead to weight gain and the higher dosages that can lead to weight loss in those who are above their ideal body weights. There is little or no evidence that HCA ingested even in quite large amounts causes significant weight loss in individuals who are at or below their idea weights or exhibit a body mass index (BMI) at or below 20. It is to be expected that dosage will need to be matched to the current state of a given individual suffering from cachexia, catabolism or sarcopenia.

A subtraction processing unit generates a soft portion image representing a soft portion tissue of a subject from first and second radiation images. A body thickness estimation unit estimates a body thickness distribution of the subject on the basis of imaging conditions in a case where the soft portion image and the first and second radiation images are acquired. An approximate body thickness distribution calculation unit calculates an approximate body thickness distribution obtained by approximating the estimated body thickness distribution to a model corresponding to a human body, and a body fat percentage calculation unit calculates a distribution of a body fat percentage in the subject on the basis of the approximate body thickness distribution.
