Abstract: A small and inexpensive, noninvasive bone density measuring device is provided. A measuring part of the bone density measuring device is constituted by a light emitter 120, which emits near-infrared light, and a light receiver 130, which receives light via a bone of a measuring subject, arranged in a holder 110. Bone density is measured by inserting an arm, for example, in the holder 110 and measuring light absorption (absorbance) by the arm bone. The light emitter 120 and the light receiver 130 are connected to a control unit 140. The control unit 140 controls the light emitter 120 to emit light, inputs a measured value from the light receiver 130, and displays it as bone density. In order to remove the influence of light from the background or difference in bone thickness, ratio of absorbance between two wavelengths is preferably employed.
