Abstract:
A body fat determining device comprising:an electrode group including a first current path forming electrode and a second current path forming electrode for forming a current path together with the first current path forming electrode, and a first measuring electrode and a second measuring electrode for measuring an impedance together with the first measuring electrode; and an electronic circuit board on which a circuit element is provided and a body case, wherein the electrode included in the electrode group is formed on the electronic circuit board, and the electrode group is formed with a face with which a subject comes in contact exposed to an outside of the body case in such a manner that the subject can come in contact to measure his (her) impedance, wherein the face of the electrode included in the electrode group with which the subject comes in contact is exposed to the outside of the body case by forming a dent-shaped portion on an outer face of the body fat determining device.
