MEASURING DEVICE, EVALUATION METHOD, AND EVALUATION PROGRAM

摘要

A measuring device (100) is provided with: a blood pressure measurement unit (106) for measuring blood pressure in the upper limbs and blood pressure in the lower limbs; a pulse wave measurement unit (102) for measuring a pulse wave in the upper limbs and a pulse wave in the lower limbs; a first index calculation unit (108) for calculating the ankle-brachial index (ABI) by calculating the ratio between an upper limb blood pressure value and lower limb blood pressure value; a second index calculation unit (104) for using the pulse wave of the upper limbs and the pulse wave of the lower limbs to calculate a second index to be used in assessing the ABI; an evaluation unit (110) for evaluating the reliability of the ABI by using the ABI and the second index; and an output unit (4) for outputting the ABI with evaluation results.
