An apparatus is provided to evaluate the physical condition of a user based on personal data provided by the user and measurements taken by the device. Results of the evaluation and health-related information that corresponds thereto are output for display on a screen and/or printed. Embodiments inclu de a kiosk, such as a stand alone structure or a sit down unit having a touch screen, which typically shows a series of advertisements and inducements. Wh en the user touches the screen, the screen prompts the user to enter personal information, such as age, height, gender, and general physical condition. Th e kiosk measures the user's weight with a built-in measuring device, instructs the user to place their hands on a set of electrodes, then performs body fat composition measurement employing conventional body fat analysis techniques, such as bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). The kiosk outputs on the screen a body composition analysis (i.e., body fat percentage), and prints a detailed report of the results of its analysis including an assessment of th e user's physical condition, recommendations, and special offers selected by t he kiosk's processor based on the user's personal information and test results, such as product coupons. The user can also request information relating to a variety of issues (e.g., fitness, nutrition, weight loss, etc.) and products (e.g., magazines, health clubs, etc.).
