Measurements by use of a conventional caliper process require skills
and experiences. Further, since different pregnant women gain and keep fats in
their bodies in different ways, results of measurements of their body fats vary.
To overcome the inconvenience, there is provided a system for measuring a percent
body fat or a total body fat by a bioelectrical impedance method, which comprises
first input means, second input means and computation means, wherein personal data
of a patient such as a height and a body weight is input into the first input means,
a weight of a fetal part is input into the second input means, and the computation
means computes a percent body fat or a total body fat by subtracting the body weight
input into the second input means from the body weight input into the first input
means. Further, to overcome the inconvenience, there is provided a system for measuring
