An apparatus for evaluating a degree of arteriosclerosis of a living subject, including: a pulse-wave detecting device adapted to be worn on a first portion of the living subject; a pressing device adapted to be worn on a second portion of the subject located on a distal side of the first portion, for pressing the second portion so as to restrict a flow of blood at the second portion; and an arteriosclerosis-related information obtaining device which obtains arteriosclerosis-related information used for evaluating said degree of arteriosclerosis of the subject, based on a peak point of an incident-wave component, and a peak point of a reflected-wave component, of a pulse of a pulse wave that is detected by the pulse-wave detecting device in a state in which the flow of blood is restricted by the pressing device.
