ABSTRACT:
A method of and an apparatus for regulating a pressure applied to an area of a living body during a biodata measurement with the use of a biodata measuring apparatus. The apparatus is designed to irradiate with light the area of the living body by means of a detecting probe then held in contact with the area of the living body, then to detect light transmitted through and/or reflected from the area of the living body, and finally to measure a predetermined biodata within the living body on the basis of a spectrum of the transmitted and/or reflected light. The method and the apparatus include pressing, during the biodata measurement, the area of the living body with a predetermined pressure through a soft pressure medium to thereby regulate the pressure applied to the area of the living body to a value equal to the predetermined pressure.
