Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve accurate estimation of the burning quantity of body fat by overcoming its difficulty under factors which are related intricately to the burning of body fat. SOLUTION: In a measuring apparatus, there are arranged an acetone detection sensor 2 for detecting the concentration of acetone in exhalation and an in forming means for notifying the degree of burning of body fat according to the concentration of acetone detected by the acetone detection sensor. Utilizing the diffusion of the acetone released into blood in the burning process of isolated fatty acids in vivo into the exhalation inside the lungs, direct measurement of the burning quantity of body fat is made possible by measuring the acetone in exhalation. This also enables accurate measurement of the burning quantity of the body fat, even under not only at exercising load but also at conducting diet.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, devices for measuring body fat include:
A body fat percentage meter using bioelectrical impedance is well known. However, the body fat percentage meter utilizes the property that fat hardly conducts electricity, and measures a change in its electrical resistance by passing a small amount of current through the body to calculate the body fat percentage. Therefore, the measured value varies depending on the time zone and the moisture state of the living body. Therefore, it is effective for long-term management of body fat percentage, but is not suitable for measurement of body fat burning before and after exercise and measurement of daily body fat burning. In addition, as an indirect measure of body fat burning, heart rate during exercise is measured, and from exercise time and exercise intensity,
An apparatus for estimating the amount of body fat burned is described in JP-A-6-176. Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-173500 describes a training system that calculates the cumulative value of body fat consumption from exercise load and exercise time.

The conventional system for estimating the amount of body fat burned, however, estimates the amount of body fat burned from the heart rate during exercise, the exercise load and the exercise time.
The burning of visceral fat and subcutaneous fat starts increasing after 20 minutes from the start of exercise, and after about 30 minutes has passed, the fat starts to be burned efficiently. In addition, since the amount of sugar in the body increases after eating, the energy used for exercise is mainly carbohydrates,
Before meals, the sugar content is low, fats are used as energy, and before and after meals, and the contents of the meals differ, and the body fat burning efficiency also changes due to body temperature rise due to sweating during exercise. As described above, various factors are intricately intertwined in fat burning, and it has been difficult to accurately estimate the body fat burning amount based only on exercise time, heart rate, and exercise load. Further, according to the conventional method, it is possible to estimate the body fat burning amount only when a load such as exercise is given, and it is not possible to measure the body fat burning effect when diet is restricted.

Next, the operation and operation will be described. FIG. 2 shows a simplified diagram of the relationship between the energy utilization cycle of a living body and acetone. Normally, carbohydrate energy such as carbohydrates orally ingested in meals is used as blood glucose and used as energy in a living body. When blood glucose rises and becomes excessive, insulin hormone acts to excrete excess glucose in urine and is stored as body fat as liver and subcutaneous fat. When blood glucose is insufficient due to dietary restriction or exercise, fat is metabolized, that is, burned in order to use the stored body fat as energy. During the process of fat metabolism, ketone bodies such as acetoacetic acid, hydroxybutyric acid, and acetone are formed in blood, and acetoacetic acid and hydroxybutyric acid are reused in organs other than the liver, and acetone is excreted from expiration through the lungs. As described above, acetone is generated in the body fat burning process and is excreted in exhaled breath. Therefore, by measuring exhaled acetone, it is possible to directly know the burning state of body fat.
