  • Patent number: 9192321
    Abstract: A body fat measurement apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a current-applying electrode pair including two electrodes for applying a current, and a voltage-measuring electrode pair including two electrodes for measuring a voltage. The current-applying electrode pair is provided in such a way that a line which joins the two current-applying electrodes is inclined with respect to a trunk axis of a body to be measured. The voltage-measuring electrode pair is provided between the two current-applying electrodes.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20120330181
    Abstract: A visceral fat measurement device includes a current-applying electrode pair including a first current-applying electrode and a second current-applying electrode, and a voltage measurement electrode pair including a first voltage measurement electrode and a second voltage measurement electrode. The current-applying electrode pair is arranged on a projected line obtained by projecting the body trunk axis of a measured body to the body surface of an abdominal part of the measured body. The first and second current-applying electrodes are separated from each other at a predetermined interval determined so that a current path connecting the first current-applying electrode, visceral fat, and the second current-applying electrode is formed. The voltage measurement electrode pair is arranged between the first and second current-applying electrodes in a direction along the body trunk axis of the measured body.
