Abstract
A body fat measurement device includes: a measurement unit for measuring a shape of a measurement subject's trunk area; a breathing estimation unit that detects a change over time in the measured trunk area shape and estimates the measurement subject's breathing based on the detected change; a breathing state determination unit that determines whether or not the estimated breathing of the measurement subject is in a state suited to measurement; a state output unit that outputs the estimated breathing state to the exterior in association with a result of the determination; and a fat mass calculation unit that calculates a trunk area fat mass using the body impedance measured by a body impedance measurement unit and a trunk area size based on the trunk area shape measured by the measurement unit.
