1. A method of operating a local body fat measurement device, the method comprising:
- receiving a user input as to one of a plurality of predetermined anatomical area measurement levels, the predetermined anatomical area measurement levels each indicating different measurement points and/or amounts of measurement points within a predetermined anatomical area with respect to each other;
portraying a shape of the predetermined anatomical area as an anatomical area image and displaying at least one predetermined measurement point on the anatomical area image to the user based on the inputted predetermined anatomical area measurement level to induce the user to position the local body fat measurement device at the at least one predetermined measurement point that is based on the inputted anatomical area measurement level;
measuring a body fat thickness of the at least one predetermined measurement point of the predetermined anatomical area;
displaying a measured body fat thickness at each measurement point on an output device; and
maintaining a memory device storing a local body fat measurement table storing the at least one measurement point, the local body fat measurement table including the anatomical area image portraying a shape of the predetermined anatomical area, the at least one measurement point being displayed in the anatomical area image.
