  • Publication number: 20020040195
    Abstract: Disclosed is a female physical condition managing apparatus comprising: a bioelectrical impedance-meter for determining BI values; a memory for storing the so determined BI values; a decision-making unit for making a decision about the monthly physical condition of a woman on the basis of the time series analysis of the variation of the BI values; and a display showing the so made decision on the monthly physical condition of the woman and a BI transition symbolic curve. This permits women to realize quickly what stage has been reached in the monthly physical condition. Presentation of measurement in the display is so dynamic that the viewer may not feel bored while the measurement is being made.

  • Publication number: 20020022787
    Abstract: A body water amount condition judging apparatus which is capable of judging body water amount condition, such as edema or dehydration, in detail exactly is disclosed. In the apparatus, at least two values selected from intra-cellular water resistance, extra-cellular water resistance, combined resistance of the intra-cellular and extra-cellular water resistance, and a ratio of intra-cellular and extra-cellular water are judging parameters for body water amount condition, The apparatus comprises a multi-frequency bioelectric impedance measuring means for measuring bioelectric impedance using AC currents having different frequencies, a calculating means for calculating each value of a judging parameter based on the measured bioelectric impedance value, a body water amount condition judging means for judging body water amount condition based on the calculated each value of the judging parameter, and a display means for displaying the judging result of the body water amount condition so judged.
