Abstract

An apparatus for deriving a body fat area comprises a parameter measuring unit and/or a parameter input unit, an arithmetic unit and a display unit. The parameter measuring unit measures a parameter value correlated to the body fat area, including a subcutaneous fat area and a visceral fat area, and the parameter input unit enters a parameter value correlated to the body fat area. The arithmetic unit calculates the subcutaneous and visceral body fat area from the measured parameter value and/or from the input parameter value by using a regression equation. The display unit displays for the calculated subcutaneous and visceral fat areas in a concentric circle format.
