A visceral fat determining device is disclosed which can be used easily at
home for example and can obtain information on visceral fat. The visceral
fat determining device comprises input means for inputting personal data
that represents vital characteristics of the patient; a data processing
unit capable of performing various calculations; and a display device
capable of displaying the personal data and results of the calculations.
Upon inputting of a waist size which is a girth of the trunk of the
patient, and a hip size which is a girth of the buttocks of the patient,
quantitative information on abdominal visceral fat of the patient is
given through a calculation based on WHR which is a ratio of the waist
size to the hip size (waist size/hip size).
