BODY WEIGHT MANAGEMENT DEVICE HAVING FUNCTION TO PREDICT BODY WEIGHT FLUCTUATIONS

摘要

This body weight management device comprises: a measurement unit for measuring the bioelectrical impedance of a subject; an impedance change detection unit for detecting temporal changes in the measured bioelectrical impedance; a fluctuation level calculation unit for calculating the level of fluctuation in the bioelectrical impedance per unit time on the basis of the temporal change in the bioelectrical impedance; a determination unit (186) for using the level of fluctuation in the bioelectrical impedance per unit time to determine the subsequent trend for changes in the body weight of the subject; and an output unit (187) for outputting the result of the determination.
