Abstract
An apparatus, method and optical sensor module for body fat measurement includes at least one light source, a tilter to control an irradiation angle of the light source to radiate light from the light source into biological tissue at a predetermined angle, and an optical detector to detect an optical signal scattered from the biological tissue, and transform the scattered optical signal into an electric signal to acquire more accurate body fat information about a deep body fat layer.
