PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a visceral fat measuring apparatus capable of easily and safely measuring a visceral fat amount.SOLUTION: The visceral fat measuring apparatus calculates the visceral fat amount on the basis of body measurement information, the impedance information of the entire body and the impedance information of a surface part obtained by measuring a potential difference in the body axis direction of the body on the back side of the body. A belt has a hollow pressing member 310 to be pressed to the back side of the body and provided with an electrode E on the pressing surface. The pressing member 310 houses a wiring member including a circuit board connected to the electrode E to measure the potential difference in the inside, is flexible in a direction vertical to the body axis direction, is capable of being curved so as to follow the surface shape on the back side of the body, and is configured such that a surface 312 on the opposite side of the pressing surface is deflected while being extended relatively to the pressing surface when it is curved.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】内臓脂肪量の測定を簡易的かつ安全に行うことを可能とする内臓脂肪測定装置を提供する。【解決手段】胴体測定情報と、胴体全体のインピーダンス情報と、胴体の背中側で胴体の体軸方向の電位差を測定することで得られた表層部のインピーダンス情報と、に基づいて、内臓脂肪量を算出する内臓脂肪測定装置であって、ベルトは、胴体の背中側に押し当てられるとともにその押し当て面に電極Eが設けられる内部中空の押し当て部材310を有しており、押し当て部材310は、電極Eに接続されて電位差を測定するための回路基板を含む配線部材が内部に収容されるとともに、体軸方向に垂直な方向に対しては可撓性を有して胴体の背中側の表面形状に倣うように湾曲可能であり、湾曲する際には、押し当て面とは反対側の面312が、押し当て面に対し相対的に伸びながら撓むように構成されていることを特徴とする。【選択図】図5
