Abstract:
A living body measuring device having a function for determining a measured subject, comprising an input unit, a bioelectrical impedance measuring unit, a storage unit and an arithmetic unit,wherein said input unit enters information relating to a body of a subject; said bioelectrical impedance measuring unit measures a bioelectrical impedance of said subject; said storage unit stores data for a plurality of subjects, said data representing the body-related information entered from said input unit and the measured bioelectrical impedance values; and said arithmetic unit compares the measured current bioelectrical impedance value with the bioelectrical impedance values for the plurality of subjects stored in said storage unit to automatically determine, in consideration of an elapsed day count from a last measurement day stored in said storage unit to a current measurement day, a body-related information which is to be used for calculation from among the body-related information for the plurality of subjects, and calculates an index relating to the body of the subject based on the determined body-related information and the measured current bioelectrical impedance value.
