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.

Female physical condition managing apparatus

Disclosed is a female physical condition managing apparatus comprising: a bioelectrical impedance-meter for determining BI values; a memory for storing the so determined BI values; a decision-making unit for making a decision about the monthly physical condition of a woman on the basis of the time series analysis of the variation of the BI values; and a display showing the so made decision on the monthly physical condition of the woman and a BI transition symbolic curve. 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.

A bioelectrical impedance measuring apparatus is provided, which includes a measurement board and two pairs of electrodes arranged on the measurement board. A bioelectrical impedance of a subject is detected bringing both foot soles of the subject into contact with the electrodes. Each of the two pairs of electrodes extends approximately radially from the center of the measurement board.
