Visceral fat meter provided with tonometer
First Claim
1. A visceral fat scale equipped with a sphygmomanometer comprising a cuff, wherein after exerting the cuff exerts pressure to an artery of a subject by inflation of the cuff, the sphygmomanometer obtains the blood pressure of the subject based on a detected pulse wave signal, and the visceral fat scale comprising:
- an input device for inputting personal data of the subject;
an arithmetic operation unit for calculating the amount of visceral fat of the subject based on the data input by the input device, the amount of visceral fat being the cross-sectional area of abdominal visceral fat of the subject; and
a display unit for displaying a result of the calculation performed by the arithmetic operation unit.

Abstract
A visceral fat scale equipped with a sphygmomanometer is described, with which a subject can keep track of blood pressure values and grasp the state of obesity to attain more accurate, comprehensive and diversified diagnoses and disease prevention. The visceral fat scale is designed such that after exerting pressure to an artery of a subject by inflation of a cuff, a pulse wave signal is detected in the course of gradual cuff deflation and blood pressure is obtained based on the detected pulse wave signal. The scale comprises an increment/decrement key and display mode selector key for inputting personal data of the subject; an arithmetic operation unit for calculating the amount of visceral fat of the subject based on data input by these keys; and a display unit for displaying a result of the calculation performed by the arithmetic operation unit.

9. A visceral fat scale equipped with a sphygmomanometer comprising a cuff, wherein, after the cuff exerts pressure to an artery of a subject by inflation of the cuff, the sphygmomanometer obtains the blood pressure of the subject based on a detected pulse wave signal, and the visceral fat scale comprising:
-
an input device for inputting personal data including the height, weight and waist size of the subject;
electrodes for current application and electrodes for measurement which are brought into contact with part of the body of the subject;
a body impedance measuring unit for measuring the body impedance of the subject based on a signal from the measurement electrodes;
an arithmetic operation unit for calculating at least any of the body mass index (BMI), percent body fat and visceral fat amount of the subject based on data input by the body impedance measuring unit and data input by the input device, said visceral fat amount being the cross-sectional area of abdominal visceral fat of the subject; and
a display unit for displaying a result of the calculation performed by the arithmetic operation unit. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
