ABSTRACT:
An arteriosclerosis evaluating apparatus10includes an arteriosclerosis evaluating procedure46(Steps S7, S8, S9, and S10) that evaluates arteriosclerosis of a living subject, based on a relationship between difference ΔP of internal and external pressure of an artery of the subject in the state in which the pressure difference ΔP is in equilibrium, and amplitude AM of a pulse wave produced from the artery. Therefore, the present apparatus10can as easily as possible evaluate the arteriosclerosis of the subject based on a characteristic curve58representing the relationship between in-equilibrium pressure difference ΔP and pulse-wave amplitude AM which curve is obtained from a pressing pressure Pc of a cuff12wound around a certain portion of the subject, and the pulse wave produced from the artery.
