PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bioelectrical impedance measuring apparatus which can be easily handled by a user and can provide a sure and highly accurate impedance measured value.SOLUTION: The bioelectrical impedance measuring apparatus includes a plurality of electrodes and a measuring circuitry. The measuring circuitry injects through two electrodes alternating current into the body, measures with two other electrodes on different limbs the generated voltages, and determines the impedance of body segments. Two hand contact bodies are provided, each of which is provided with two electrodes 3 and 4 in such a manner that a user when contacting the hand contact bodies with both hands, comes into contact with two electrodes for each hand. Each hand contact body has a hand seating surface 1 for placement of a hand inner surface thereon, wherein each hand seating surface 1 is provided with an electrically insulating separating wall 2, the separating wall being adapted to project into the space between middle and ring fingers when a hand is placed on the hand seating surface, and in that the electrodes 3 and 4 are provided on both sides of the separating wall.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】生体電気インピーダンス測定装置を、使用者がより簡単に扱うことができ、より確実で、より高精度なインピーダンスの測定値を提供できるようにする。【解決手段】複数の電極と測定回路とを有し、測定回路は交流電流を2つの電極を介して人体に注入し、生じた電圧を異なった肢上の他の2つの電極により測定して、身体セグメントのインピーダンスを決定し、2つの手接触体が設けられ、各手接触体には2つの電極3、4が設けられ、使用者が手接触体に両手で触れると、片手につき2つの電極に接触する生体電気インピーダンス測定装置において、各手接触体は手の内側表面をその上に配置する手戴置表面1を有し、各手戴置表面1には電気絶縁性分離壁2が設けられ、分離壁は、手が手戴置表面に配置された時に中指と薬指との間の空間に突出するように構成され、電極3、4が分離壁の両側に設けられている。【選択図】図3
