Abstract: An analysis apparatus includes a light emission unit configured to emit measurement light including light in a 900 nm wavelength band to a sample, a light detection unit configured to acquire spectrum data of reflected light in the sample, a data processing unit configured to perform a noise removing process on the spectrum data, a first determination unit configured to store a PLS regression model associated with prediction of an amount of triglyceride in the sample and to determine an amount of triglyceride in the sample by applying the spectrum data subjected to the noise removing process to the PLS regression model, and a second determination unit configured to store data indicating a correlation with an amount of triglyceride in the sample and to determine an amount of brown adipose tissue or beige fat in the sample based on the data and the amount of triglyceride determined by the first determination unit.

Abstract: A measurement method for brown adipose tissue includes a light input step of inputting near-infrared light from a light input unit into a measurement target portion, a light detection step of detecting light intensity of the near-infrared light having propagated through an interior of the measurement target portion by a light detection unit, and a calculation step of calculating an index value for a BAT amount from an oxygenated hemoglobin concentration or the like of the measurement target portion, which is acquired by near-infrared spectroscopy based on the detection result by the light detection unit.
