BODY COMPOSITION MEASUREMENT DEVICE, BODY COMPOSITION MEASUREMENT METHOD, AND CORRECTION METHOD IN BODY COMPOSITION MEASUREMENT

摘要

Provided is a body composition measurement device capable of accurately acquiring visceral fat quantity-related information as body composition-related information of a human body. A body composition measurement device (10) has a current supply electrode pair (51) and a voltage measurement electrode pair (52) which are in contact with the abdomen of a subject, a compensating resistor unit (60), a current generation unit (20), a voltage detection unit (30), and a calculation unit (11). The voltage detection unit (30) detects a voltage that occurs at a human-body-mimic resistor (71) in order to measure a resistance value of the compensating resistor unit (60). The voltage detection unit (30) detects a voltage that occurs at the voltage measurement electrode pair (52) as a result of current that is generated by the current generation unit (20) and that is supplied to the abdomen of the subject via the current supply electrode pair (51). The calculation unit (11) generates body composition-related information for the subject on the basis of the voltage occurring at the voltage measurement electrode pair (52) that has been detected by the voltage detection unit (30), and the voltage generated at the human-body-mimic resistor (71).
