<p>An object of the present invention is to provide an easy-understandable representation of fat tissue and lean tissue respectively occupying in a body constitution of a subject. Another object thereof is to help the subject determine which one of the fat tissue or the lean tissue is decreasing by weight reduction. A body type determination apparatus according to the present invention calculates an index of body fat mass, FMI (Fat Mass Index: fat mass/body height<2>), an index of lean mass, LMI (Lean Mass Index: lean mass/body height<2>), and a body build index, BMI (Body Mass Index: body weight/body height<2>) from entered body data and a measured bioelectric impedance, and further the apparatus displays a relationship between the BMI and the FMI and/or between the BMI and the LMI as a result of measurement by way of a graph and/or an illustration. <IMAGE></p> |
