Patent ID: 8538772

Claim:
A health management guideline advising device comprising: a personal information input device configured to input personal information including at least sex and age of a measuring subject; a measurement value input device configured to input a weight and a body impedance of the measuring subject; an estimation device configured to estimate a muscle mass of the measuring subject from the inputted personal information and the weight and the body impedance; a storage device configured to store the weight and the muscle mass; a prediction device configured to: (i) obtain an amount representing a change of the muscle mass from (a) the muscle mass stored in the storage device and (b) a newly obtained muscle mass, and (ii) predict future weight from (a) the weight stored in the storage device, (b) a newly obtained weight, and (c) the amount representing the change of the muscle mass; and a display device configured to display the predicted future weight, wherein in a condition in which the newly obtained muscle mass is lower than the muscle mass stored in the storage device, the predicted future weight obtained by the prediction device is higher than in a condition in which the newly obtained muscle mass is equal to or higher than the muscle mass stored in the storage device.
