Abstract
A dehydration condition judging apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a bioelectric impedance measuring device; a dehydration condition judging unit; an judgement result displaying unit; an inform time determining unit; and an informing device. The bioelectric impedance measuring device supplies an alternating current to a body of a subject and measures a bioelectric impedance value. The dehydration condition judging unit judges a dehydration condition of the subject based on the measured bioelectric impedance value. The judgment result displaying unit displays the judged dehydration condition. The inform time determining unit determines an inform time. The informing device informs the subject at the determined inform time that it is time to measure the total amount of body water.
