An object of the present invention is to provide a body composition
measuring device used in arithmetically deriving an index indicative of
body composition in accordance with the bioelectric impedance measuring
method, in which a highly accurate calculation result can be obtained
with the reduced effect from the fluctuation in a day while using a
simple measuring method. Provided is a body composition measuring device
in which the bioelectric impedance value is measured at each different
frequency by applying the current at a plurality of different
frequencies, for example, at a first frequency and a second frequency, to
the living body, while concurrently correcting the measured bioelectric
impedance value at the first frequency or at the second frequency by
using the difference in the bioelectric impedance values between the
first and the second frequencies to calculate the index indicative of the
body composition based on the corrected bioelectric impedance value, or
while concurrently calculating the index indicative of the body
composition based on either one of the measured bioelectric impedance
values at the first frequency or at the second frequency and then
correcting the calculated index indicative of the body composition by
using the difference between the bioelectric impedance values at the
first and the second frequencies.
