Method and apparatus for measuring body fat.

摘要

A body fat measuring apparatus for measuring body fat in a patient's body comprises a measuring station for simultaneously measuring an impedance between the ends of the patient's body, the patient's height and the patient's weight and a calculator for calculating body fat from the measured impedance value, height and weight. The calculator estimates a body density by a calculation formula having one of a correction term for increasing the body density upon increase of the impedance with respect to only the impedance and a correction term for decreasing the body density upon increase of the weight with respect to only the weight. <IMAGE>
