In a body fat measuring apparatus, a constant electric-current is flowed
between hand electric-current electrodes and leg electric-current
electrodes. From two detected voltages generated between an
annular-shaped voltage electrode placed on an abdominal portion and two
voltage electrodes placed at the both sides of a lumbar portion, two
abdominal impedances are determined. Two electric-current electrodes and
two voltage electrodes are placed such that they are spaced apart by a
small interval from one another at an umbilicus portion. A constant
electric current is flowed between the two electric-current electrodes
and the impedance in the vicinity of the subcutaneous of the abdominal
portion is determined from the detected voltage generated between the two
voltage electrodes. From the two abdominal impedances, the impedance in
the vicinity of the subcutaneous of the abdominal portion, and the input
physique information, a viscera impedance is calculated.
