Basal metabolic rate measuring device
First Claim
1. A basal metabolic rate measuring device comprising:
- age data acquiring means, body height data acquiring means, body weight data acquiring means, impedance data acquiring means, fat free mass data acquiring means, and basal metabolic rate calculating means, and further comprising;
fetal part weight data acquiring means, wherein the age data acquiring means acquires the age data of a subject, the body height data acquiring means acquires the body height data of the subject, the body weight data acquiring means acquires the body weight data of the subject, the impedance data acquiring means acquires the bioelectrical impedance data of the subject, the fetal part weight data acquiring means acquired the weight data of the fetal part of the subject when the subject is a pregnant woman, the fat free mass data acquiring means calculates the fat free mass data of the body of the pregnant subject based on at least the acquired body height data, body weight data, impedance data and fetal part weight data, and the basal metabolic rate calculating means calculates the basal metabolic rate of the pregnant subject based on at least the fat free mass data and age data of mother.

Abstract
A basal metabolic rate measuring device capable of measuring the basal metabolic rate of a pregnant woman easily and accurately is provided by improving a known basal metabolic rate measuring device capable of calculating a basal metabolic rate based on the fat free mass data and age data of a subject. The basal metabolic rate measuring device calculates the fat free mass data of the body of a pregnant subject and calculates the basal metabolic rate of the subject based on at least the fat free mass data and age data. The fat free mass data of the body of the subject is calculated based on at least the body height data, body weight data, impedance data and fetal part weight data of the subject by a known basal metabolic rate measuring device provided with fetal part weight data acquiring means.
