First Claim
Patent Images
1. A body composition measuring apparatus comprising:
- an electrode configured to be in contact with a body of a user;
an impedance measuring unit connected to the electrode and configured to measure an impedance of the body via the electrode; and
a first determining unit configured to acquire skin hydration based on a normal-state impedance of the body and a comparative impedance corresponding to a percentage of the normal-state impedance.

Abstract
Body composition measuring apparatuses and methods are provided. An impedance of an electric circuit including a body is different according to body composition. A normal-state impedance of the electric circuit and an impedance less than the normal-state impedance are determined. The determined impedances are analyzed to acquire skin hydration. A body fat ratio is acquired from the normal-state impedance.
