Abstract
When measuring body fat through use of a TV remote control unit, the body of a person to be subjected to body fat measurement is brought into contact with current application electrodes and voltage measurement electrodes, which are subjected to application of a sinusoidal waveform signal and have a connection configuration of substantially two-electrode type. When a match has arisen between varying voltages developing between the voltage measurement electrodes a predetermined number of times, the voltage is taken as a result of measurement of bio-impedance.
