Abstract

A basal metabolic rate measuring device capable of measuring the basal metabolic rate of a pregnant woman easily and accurately is provided by improving a known basal metabolic rate measuring device capable of calculating a basal metabolic rate based on the fat free mass data and age data of a subject. The basal metabolic rate measuring device calculates the fat free mass data of the body of a pregnant subject and calculates the basal metabolic rate of the subject based on at least the fat free mass data and age data. The fat free mass data of the body of the subject is calculated based on at least the body height data, body weight data, impedance data and fetal part weight data of the subject by a known basal metabolic rate measuring device provided with fetal part weight data acquiring means.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a basal metabolic rate measuring device, which can calculate the basal metabolic rate based on the fat-free mass data and age data of the measured person, and particularly relates to a device capable of calculating the basal metabolic rate of the measured person even when the measured person is a pregnant woman. Rate of basal metabolic rate measuring device. Background technique [0002] Accurate measurement of a subject's basal metabolic rate requires a large-scale device such as an odor meter. Measuring basal metabolic rate using an odor meter requires the subject to keep quiet for a long time and wear a mask or mask, which imposes a huge burden on the subject. Furthermore, the operation of the device and the evaluation of the measurement results require specialists. [0003] In this case, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare proposes to obtain the basal metabolic rate by multiplying the basal metabolic referen...
