Abstract
An activity-induced energy expenditure estimating instrument is provided which is capable of estimating an activity-induced energy expenditure with ease and high accuracy. The activity-induced energy expenditure estimating instrument comprises: body activity information measuring means, body specifying information acquiring means, body composition information acquiring means, and activity-induced energy expenditure computing means, wherein the body activity information measuring means measures body activity information, the body specifying information acquiring means acquires body specifying information, the body composition information acquiring means acquires body composition information, and the activity-induced energy expenditure computing means calculates an activity-induced energy expenditure corresponding to these body activity information, body specifying information and body composition information, by use of correlation data representing correlations between the body activity information, body specifying information and body composition information and an activity-induced energy expenditure.
