ABSTRACT:
When a human subject presses a start switch S and stands on a platform (10) of a measurement apparatus (100), the weight of the human subject is measured, and the measurement result is stored as measurement data xi (i is a natural number) in a rewritable memory (150c). When the start switch S and a difference key F are pressed, measurement data xi stored in rewritable memory (150c) is read so as to be displayed temporarily on a display unit (120). Display unit (120) changes to a zero display, “0.00 kg”, and when the human subject stands on platform (10), the current weight of the human subject is measured. A CPU (110) uses a calculation equation read from a ROM (150b) to execute a difference output process in which the difference between the measurement data showing the current weight and measurement data xi read from rewritable memory (150c) is output.
