Visceral fat meter having pace counting function
First Claim
1. A visceral fat determining device with a step-counting function, characterized in that:
- the visceral fat determining device has step-counting means for counting the number of steps involved in exercise such as walking done by a subject, and a main body shaped to be portable;
the visceral fat determining device allows entry of body data of the subject including the waist size of the subject, which is the circumferential size of a trunk part of the subject;
the visceral fat determining device is capable of obtaining quantitative information about abdominal visceral fat of the subject through a computation of the body data based on a predetermined computing formula;
the visceral fat determining device has a display means for displaying results of determinations obtained;
the computation based on the computing formula for obtaining the quantitative information about abdominal visceral fat of the subject is performed using data including the waist size of the subject; and
the display means is capable of displaying at least the number of steps counted by the step-counting means.

Abstract
A device is provided which is capable of determining an amount of exercise involved in walking or a like exercise, as well as of obtaining quantitative information about visceral fat in the abdominal part of a subject and which can be used handily by being carried with the subject every day.
The visceral fat determining device with a step-counting function is configured as follows. The visceral fat determining device has a step-counting means for counting the number of steps involved in exercise such as walking done by a subject and a main body shaped to be portable. When body data of the subject such as the waist size of the subject is inputted to the visceral fat determining device through a manipulation section, the visceral fat determining device is capable of performing a computation of the body data based on a predetermined computing formula for obtaining quantitative information about the abdominal visceral fat of the subject.
