Arteriosclerosis-degree evaluating apparatus

摘要

The apparatus has a pulse-wave detecting device to be worn on a neck portion of a living subject. An arteriosclerosis-related information obtaining unit (78) gets arteriosclerosis related information used for evaluating degree of arteriosclerosis of the subject. The degree is evaluated based on a peak point of an incident-wave and a reflected-wave component of a pulse wave detected by the detecting device.
