An improved body-fat measuring apparatus for measuring in-vivo impedance and computing body-fat quantity can obtain accurate and stable in-vivo impedance even if hand electrodes are used for the measurement. The apparatus includes a body-height measuring device having a footstool on which a examinee mounts, a measuring terminal to contact with the top of examinee's head, and a cursor movable in upward and downward direction with holding said measuring terminal, and also includes in-vivo impedance measuring electrodes integrated with said cursor, wherein said measuring electrodes are located at a height approximately corresponding to the examinee's shoulder as said measuring terminal of said body-height measuring device contacts with the top of examinee's head so that the angle between torso region and arm region of an examinee becomes approximately right angle when the examinee grasps said measuring electrodes.
