BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION MEASURING INSTRUMENT AND BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION MEASURING METHOD

摘要

Conventionally the relative position of subcutaneous fat thickness measuring means of a biological information measuring instrument for measuring the thickness of the subcutaneous fat of a living organism with respect to the living organism cannot be fixed. A biological information measuring instrument according to the invention comprises subcutaneous fat thickness measuring means composed of a light source (1) and a photodetector (2) both for measuring the thickness of the subcutaneous fat of a living organism (9), a projection (3) provided as relative position fixing means for substantially fixing the relative position of the biological information measuring means with respect to the living organism (9), and holding means (4) for holding the light source (1), the photodetector (2), and the projection (3).
