Patent ID: 6957167

Claim:
A visceral fat determining device with a weight-measuring function comprising: weight-measuring means for measuring a weight of a subject when the subject stands on a measuring surface; input means for inputting personal data, including an abdominal girth W L , which is a circumferential length of a torso of the subject; data processing unit that stores the personal data and calculates quantitative information on abdominal visceral fat of the subject including an estimated value of an abdominal visceral fat cross-sectional area VA of the subject based on the personal data; and a display portion that displays the personal data and a result of the calculation performed by the data processing unit; wherein the quantitative information on the abdominal visceral fat of the subject includes at least one regression coefficient and a regression constant which are obtained based on statistical analysis of a correlation between actually measured values of the abdominal visceral fat cross-sectional area VA obtained in abdominal tomography of human bodies of random samples and at least values of the abdominal girth W L of the human samples; and wherein the estimated value of an abdominal visceral fat cross-sectional area VA of the subject is obtained based on a value of the abdominal girth W L , the first regression coefficient of the abdominal girth W L , and the first regression constant.
