BODY COMPOSITION MONITOR CAPABLE OF ACCURATELY MEASURING WHOLE-BODY COMPOSITION AND ACHIEVING FACILITATED MANIPULATION
First Claim
1. A body composition monitor for measuring whole-body composition of a subject, comprising:
- a plurality of hand electrodes and a plurality of foot electrodes;
a detection portion for detecting a first potential difference between a hand and a foot by applying a current across the hand and the foot of said subject through both of said hand electrode and said foot electrode and detecting a second potential difference between both hands or between both feet by applying a current across said both hands or across said both feet of said subject through any one of said hand electrodes and said foot electrodes;
a first body composition calculation portion for calculating first whole-body composition using whole-body impedance based on a result of detection of said first potential difference;
a correction portion for correcting two-limb impedance based on a result of detection of said second potential difference; and
a second body composition calculation portion for calculating second whole-body composition using said two-limb impedance corrected by said correction portion.

Abstract
A detection portion for detecting a first potential difference between hand and foot by applying a current across the hand and the foot of a subject through both of a hand electrode and a foot electrode and detecting a second potential difference between both hands or between both feet by applying a current across both hands or across both feet of the subject through any one of the hand electrodes and the foot electrodes, a first body composition calculation portion for calculating a first whole-body composition by using whole-body impedance based on a result of detection of the first potential difference, a correction portion for correcting two-limb impedance based on a result of detection of the second potential difference, and a second body composition calculation portion for calculating a second whole-body composition by using the corrected two-limb impedance are included.
