ABSTRACT:
An abdominal impedance based body composition meter is provided for estimating a body composition indicator with high accuracy. In one embodiment, the body composition meter measures pressing forces while load detection sections3a-3dare pressed against the abdomen and abdominal impedances are measured by electrodes2a-2d. Body composition indicators are estimated based on the measured pressing forces and the abdominal impedances.
