Disclosed is a female physical condition managing apparatus comprising: a bioelectrical impedance-meter; a memory for storing the so determined values of bioelectrical impedance; a decision-making unit for making a decision about the physical or mental condition of a woman on the basis of the time series analysis, which is made on the variation of the determined values of bioelectrical impedance; and a display showing the physical or mental condition of the woman in the form of graphs. This permits women to realize quickly what physical or mental condition they are put in. The female physical condition includes the premenstrual syndrome.

Female physical condition managing apparatus

Disclosed is a female physical condition managing apparatus, which permits a female user to make a quick decision as to which physical phase of the monthly body condition she has presently in terms of how the value of BI is changing. Also, an advisory message appropriate for health care is given to her. For example, the degree of swelling appearing for the PMS period is determined, and a most appropriate advice is given to her. Likewise, she can be advised while continuously watching the difference between the present weight and the target weight. The values of BI measured every day are shown in the form of graph, accompanying pieces of information of physical condition as determined.

This permits women to realize quickly what stage has been reached in the monthly physical condition. Presentation of measurement in the display is so dynamic that the viewer may not feel bored while the measurement is being made.
