Abstract
Provided is a body composition measurement device capable of accurately acquiring visceral fat quantity-related information as body composition-related information of a human body. A body composition measurement device has a voltage detection unit that detects a voltage that occurs at a human-body-mimic resistor in order to measure a resistance value of a compensating resistor unit and detects a voltage that occurs at voltage measurement electrode pair as a result of current that is generated by a current generation unit and that is supplied to the abdomen of the subject via the current supply electrode pair, and a calculation unit that generates body composition-related information for the subject on the basis of the voltage occurring at the voltage measurement electrode pair and the voltage generated at the human-body-mimic resistor, which have been detected by the voltage detection unit.
