1. A system for measuring and displaying body attribute information comprising:
- a measuring device for measuring a current value of at least one body attribute;
a storing device for storing the results of measurements of said at least one body attribute taken over a plurality of prior measuring intervals;
a computing device for computing an average value of said at least one body attribute measured during one or more of said prior measuring intervals in an event more than one such measurement of said at least one body attribute is made during said one or more prior measuring intervals and storing said average value as a prior measurement value; and
a display device operatively coupled to said storing device for displaying the results of the current measurement along with data representative of at least one prior measurement of said at least one body attribute.

Abstract
A body attribute analysis and display system provides a display of averaged data for selected body attributes, such as body weight, body fat percentage, and blood pressure, at a plurality of selected intervals over a period of time. The user'"'"'s body fat percentage is determined by measuring the user'"'"'s body impedance.
