Description

The present invention relates to a metabolism evaluation device, a metabolism evaluation method and a metabolism evaluation program.

It is known that there is a correlation between the concentration of acetone in exhaled breath and the amount of lipid consumed. For example, in Patent Document 1, the concentration of acetone in exhaled breath is measured and according to the analysis result of the measured acetone concentration. Therefore, a technique for determining a timing suitable for eating a meal or a timing suitable for performing exercise is disclosed.

International Publication No. 2013/038959 Pamphlet

One of the main concerns of those who exercise or undergo a metabolic-enhancing procedure (eg massage) is diet (weight and body fat loss), but weight and body fat are long-term lives. Since it changes according to the accumulation of behavior, it is difficult for a clear change to appear in body weight and body fat with short-time exercise or treatment. For this reason, there is a need to understand the degree of effect of exercise and treatment by grasping the state of metabolism that causes slight changes even with short-time exercise and treatment other than body weight and body fat percentage. ..

However, carbohydrates ingested by meals are consumed preferentially over lipids, and the ratio of lipid consumption to human energy consumption is greatly influenced by how much carbohydrates ingested by meals remain in the body. Therefore, even if the amount of lipid consumed is known from the concentration of acetone in the exhaled breath, the state of metabolism, for example, which state is predominant, that is, sugar consumption or lipid consumption, is currently predominant. Even if there is, it is not possible to grasp whether or not lipid consumption will soon be in full swing.

The residual amount of carbohydrates can be grasped by collecting blood and measuring the blood glucose level, but for measuring the blood glucose level that requires blood sampling, for example, it is desired to grasp the change in the metabolic state before and after exercise or treatment. It is not suitable when you want to check the metabolic status frequently.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above facts, and obtains a metabolism evaluation device, a metabolism evaluation method, and a metabolism evaluation program capable of evaluating the state of metabolism including residual carbohydrates without requiring blood sampling or the like.

Further, in the present invention, the first measured ketone body concentration obtained by measuring the ketone body discharged from the user's body and the first measured ketone body concentration discharged from the user's body after a predetermined time or more of the measurement timing. The second measured ketone body concentration obtained by measuring the obtained ketone body is obtained. Then, it is discharged from the human body to the storage unit according to the concentration of the first ketone body discharged from the human body at a predetermined timing or by the physical amount having a correlation with the concentration of the first ketone body, and after a predetermined time or more at the predetermined timing. Of the evaluation information for evaluating the state of metabolism stored in advance according to the concentration of the second ketone body or the physical amount having a correlation with the concentration of the second ketone body, the first measured ketone body concentration or the first one obtained. The evaluation information corresponding to the physical amount having a correlation with the measured ketone body concentration and the second measured ketone body concentration or the physical amount having a correlation with the second measured ketone body concentration is output.

Further, the measuring unit 72 includes an acetone measuring sensor 80 (see FIG. 5), and is provided with an acetone concentration measuring unit 82 having the same configuration as the acetone concentration measuring unit 28 of the portable metabolism evaluation device 24.

As shown in FIG. 5, the stationary metabolism evaluation device 66 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 84, a memory 86, a non-volatile storage unit 88, the above-mentioned physical information measurement unit 74, a display unit 76, an input unit 78, and acetone. It includes a measurement sensor 80, a user detection unit 90 and a communication unit 92, which are connected to each other via a bus 89.

The storage unit 88 stores the metabolism evaluation program 48, the metabolism state calculation table 50, the metabolism evaluation information table 52, and the reward / homework information table 54, and is an example of the storage unit 20 shown in FIG. Further, the CPU 84 functions as the acquisition unit 12, the calculation unit 14, and the output unit 16 shown in FIG. 1 by reading the metabolism evaluation program 48 from the storage unit 88 into the memory 86 and executing the program. Other information stored in the storage unit 88 will be described later.

The user detection unit 90 detects a user who is using the stationary metabolism evaluation device 66. When the stationary metabolism evaluation device 66 is installed in a facility used by various users such as a sports gym, the user detection unit 90 may use an IC card or an IC card possessed by the current user, for example. The current user can be detected by acquiring a user ID from an IC tag or the like. When the stationary metabolism evaluation device 66 is used in an environment where users are limited, such as at home, the user detection unit 90 currently uses buttons corresponding to individual users, for example. The current user can be detected by letting the user select the button corresponding to the user of.

The communication unit 92 is capable of communicating with an external device connected to the network 56 by wireless communication or wired communication. FIG. 5 shows a user information server 60 as an example of an external device. The user information server 60 is a server that provides information on the user in which the stationary metabolism evaluation device 66 is installed, and the user information table 64 is stored in the storage unit 62 of the user information server 60.

As described above, the stationary metabolism evaluation device 66 also has a metabolism structure including a measuring unit 18 (an example of an acetone concentration measuring unit 82) and a storage unit 20 (an example of a storage unit 42) shown in FIG. This is an example of the evaluation device 10.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. A person's residual sugar amount x [kcal] or sugar residual rate X [%] (ratio of sugar consumption to human energy consumption (non-protein burning)) is the person's sugar intake α [ It changes according to kcal] (or γ [g]), energy consumption β [kcal / h] per hour, elapsed time t [h] after sugar intake, and protein consumption energy. In addition, the energy consumption β per hour of a person changes according to the person's basal metabolic rate R [kcal / 24h] and activity level, and the basal metabolic rate R changes according to the person's physique and body composition. ..

On the other hand, the inventors of the present application collected data by measuring changes in the residual amount of carbohydrate x and the concentration of acetone a [ppb] after ingestion of carbohydrate for a large number of investigators. As a result, there is a correlation between the residual carbohydrate amount x and the acetone concentration a, and in particular, in the data narrowed down to at least one of the carbohydrate intake α and the energy consumption β per hour, the residual carbohydrate amount x It was found that the correlation with the acetone concentration a becomes stronger. The protein consumption can be regarded as constant.

FIG. 6 shows the acetone concentration a, the residual sugar rate X [%], and the lipid consumption rate when the protein consumption energy is regarded as constant and the sugar intake α and the energy consumption β per hour are narrowed down to a certain range. An example of the relationship with Y [%] (ratio of fat consumption to human energy consumption (non-protein burning)) is shown. The carbohydrate residual rate X can be obtained from the carbohydrate residual amount x and the lipid consumption amount y [kcal] by the following equation (1), and the lipid consumption rate Y can be obtained by the following equation (2).

X = x / (x + y) × 100 [%]… (1)
Y = y / (x + y) × 100 [%]… (2)

Immediately after ingestion of carbohydrates, the metabolic state corresponds to the position within the left region (range where the acetone concentration a is relatively low) in the relationship shown in FIG. 6, that is, the residual carbohydrates is higher than the lipid consumption. It is in a predominant state, and as time passes from the intake of carbohydrates, the position in the relationship shown in FIG. 6 shifts to the right side, the acetone concentration a and the lipid consumption increase, and the carbohydrate consumption decreases.

Based on the above-mentioned findings, in the present embodiment, as information defining the relationship between the acetone concentration and the residual sugar, the metabolic state calculation table 50 shown in FIG. 7 is obtained in advance from the above data, and the obtained metabolism is obtained. The state calculation table 50 is stored in the storage unit 42 of the portable metabolism evaluation device 24 and the storage unit 88 of the stationary metabolism evaluation device 66. As shown in FIG. 7, the table 50 for calculating the metabolic state shows the relationship between the acetone concentration a and the elapsed time t after the intake of carbohydrates according to the amount of carbohydrate intake α (or γ [g]) and per hour. It is a table specified for each energy consumption β.

In addition, in FIG. 7, the sugar intake amount α1 (γ1), ..., the energy consumption per hour β1, β2, ..., the elapsed time after sugar intake t1 to t5, and the acetone concentration a1 to a5 are predetermined respectively. It represents a representative value within the numerical range. Further, FIG. 7 shows the relationship between the acetone concentration a and the elapsed time t after sugar intake when the sugar intake α and the energy consumption β per hour are each within a certain numerical range, as an example in a five-step numerical range. Although it is specified separately, the number of numerical ranges may be 4 or less or 6 or more. Similarly, the number of numerical ranges of carbohydrate intake α (γ1) and energy consumption β per hour can be appropriately selected.

By using the table 50 for calculating the metabolic state, the elapsed time t after sugar intake can be obtained from the acetone concentration a when the sugar intake α (or γ) and the energy consumption β per hour are each within a certain numerical range. .. Then, by substituting the sugar intake amount α, the energy consumption β per hour, and the obtained elapsed time t after the sugar intake into the following equation (3), the remaining sugar amount x can be calculated.

x ＝ α－ (β × t) [kcal]… (3)

The metabolic state calculation table 50 shown in FIG. 7 also defines the relationship between the acetone concentration a and the lipid consumption amount y, but the lipid consumption amount y is unique from the acetone concentration a by using a known technique. Therefore, it is not essential to specify the relationship between the acetone concentration a and the lipid consumption amount y in the metabolic state calculation table 50.

As shown in FIG. 8, in the metabolism evaluation information table 52, a plurality of metabolism evaluation information including a message for evaluating a user's metabolism state is registered in association with selection conditions of individual metabolism evaluation information. In the present embodiment, when the acetone concentration is measured again within a predetermined time range after the previous measurement, for example, when the acetone concentration is measured before exercise and the acetone concentration is remeasured after exercise, a plurality of cases are performed. Any one of the metabolic evaluation information is displayed on the display unit 30 or the display unit 76 in the form of a message or the like.

As an example, in the evaluation information selection condition of the metabolism evaluation information table 52 shown in FIG. 8, the previous acetone concentration a_b [ppb] is divided into four numerical values, and each numerical range is subdivided into three stages. .. Specifically, for the two numerical ranges (“a_b <aA” and “aA ≦ a_b <aB”) where the previous acetone concentration a_b is relatively low, the amount of change in the acetone concentration (previous acetone concentration a_b-this time acetone concentration). It is subdivided according to a_n), and for the two numerical ranges (“aB ≦ a_b <aC” and “a_b ≧ aC”) where the previous acetone concentration a_b is relatively high, the current acetone concentration a_n [ppb] It is subdivided according to it.

As described above, the reason why the amount of change in the acetone concentration and the current acetone concentration a_n are used properly according to the level of the previous acetone concentration a_b as the evaluation information selection condition is that the previous acetone concentration a_b is relatively low. That is, when the lipid consumption is relatively low, the amount of change in the acetone concentration, that is, whether or not the lipid consumption is increased, and the degree of the increase when the lipid consumption is increased are the main concerns of the user. On the other hand, if the previous acetone concentration a_b is relatively high, that is, if the lipid consumption is originally a relatively high value, is the present acetone concentration a_n not excessive, that is, is there a risk of sugar depletion? This is because it is necessary to evaluate whether or not it is possible and notify it if necessary.

As shown in FIG. 9, the reward / homework information table 54 divides the residual sugar amount x into a plurality of numerical values, and each numerical range is a food that the user may ingest as a snack (reward). The reward and snack information that represents the above and the homework information that represents the behavior that the user recommends to adopt as a lifestyle in the future are registered in association with each other.

Next, with reference to FIG. 10, the metabolism evaluation process performed by the metabolism evaluation device 10 (portable metabolism evaluation device 24 or stationary metabolism evaluation device 66) will be described. The metabolism evaluation process is performed by executing the metabolism evaluation program 48 when the user instructs the measurement of the acetone concentration (or the evaluation of the metabolic state).

In step 100 of the metabolism evaluation process, the acquisition unit 12 requests the user to blow the exhaled breath to the measurement unit 18 by displaying a predetermined message on the display unit 30 or the display unit 76, for example, and the user. The acetone concentration a in the exhaled breath is measured by the measuring unit 18, and the acetone concentration a measured by the measuring unit 18 is acquired. In the next step 102, the metabolism evaluation device 10 performs a metabolism state calculation process.

As shown in FIG. 11, in step 130 of the metabolic state calculation process, the acquisition unit 12 determines whether or not the user's carbohydrate intake amount α can be acquired. The user's carbohydrate intake α means the carbohydrate intake in the user's latest meal, and in the present embodiment, whether or not the user inputs the carbohydrate intake α each time the metabolic state is evaluated. Is set in advance.

If the setting regarding the carbohydrate intake α is a setting in which the user inputs the carbohydrate intake α each time the metabolic state is evaluated, the determination in step 130 is affirmed and the process proceeds to step 132, and in step 132, , The acquisition unit 12 requests the user to input the carbohydrate intake amount α, for example, by displaying a predetermined message on the display unit 30 or the display unit 76, and the carbohydrate intake amount input by the user. Get α.

The user may input the value of the carbohydrate intake α by inputting the numerical value of the carbohydrate intake α, but the amount of meal in the user's latest meal is, for example, "small" or "normal". When divided into a plurality of levels (ranges) such as "many", the user may be allowed to select which level corresponds to. In this case, the acquisition unit 12 may acquire the carbohydrate intake amount α corresponding to the selected level. In addition, the carbohydrate intake α corresponding to each level may be fixedly set, or may be determined according to the user's attribute information (for example, at least one such as gender, age, height, etc.) and physical information. It may be changed.

On the other hand, if the setting regarding the carbohydrate intake α is not the setting in which the user inputs the carbohydrate intake α each time the metabolic state is evaluated, the determination in step 130 is denied and the process proceeds to step 134, and step 134 is performed. In the acquisition unit 12, the acquisition unit 12 reads out the default value of the carbohydrate intake amount α stored in advance in the storage unit 20. The default value of the sugar intake α may be fixedly set or may be changed according to the attribute information of the user or the like.

In the next step 136, the acquisition unit 12 determines whether or not physical information such as the physical constitution and body composition of the user can be acquired. If the determination in step 136 is affirmed, the process proceeds to step 138, and in step 138, the acquisition unit 12 acquires physical information such as the physical constitution and body composition of the user. Then, in step 140, the calculation unit 14 calculates the user's basal metabolic rate R according to a predetermined calculation formula based on the body information such as the user's physique and body composition acquired by the acquisition unit 12.

The determination in step 136 is unconditionally determined in the case of the stationary metabolism evaluation device 66, and in step 138, the acquisition unit 12 receives the physical information of the user from the user information server 60. It is acquired by having the physical information measuring unit 74 measure the physical information of the user.

Further, in the portable metabolism evaluation device 24, it is possible to have the user input the physical information of the user, and the setting related to the physical information is the setting that the user inputs the physical information each time the evaluation of the metabolic state is performed. In the case of, the determination in step 136 is affirmed, and the process proceeds to step 138. In step 138, the acquisition unit 12 displays the predetermined message on the display unit 30, for example, to inform the user of the physical information. Request input and acquire physical information input by the user.

On the other hand, in the portable metabolic rate evaluation device 24, if the setting related to the physical information is not the setting for the user to input the physical information each time the metabolic state is evaluated, the determination in step 136 is denied and the process proceeds to step 142. In step 142, the acquisition unit 12 reads out the default value of the basal metabolic rate R stored in advance in the storage unit 20. The default value of the basal metabolic rate R may also be fixedly set or may be changed according to the attribute information of the user or the like.

Further, instead of reading the default value of the basal metabolic rate R in step 142, the default value of the physical information is read out, and the user's basal metabolic rate R is calculated according to a predetermined calculation formula based on the default value of the read physical information. It may be calculated. The default value of the physical information may be fixedly set or may be changed according to the attribute information of the user or the like.

In the next step 144, the acquisition unit 12 determines whether or not the activity level of the user can be acquired. In the present embodiment, whether or not the user inputs the activity level is set in advance each time the metabolic state is evaluated. In the case of setting that the user inputs the activity level each time the metabolic state is evaluated, the determination in step 144 is affirmed and the process proceeds to step 146. In step 146, the acquisition unit 12 is, for example, the display unit 30 or the display unit. The user is requested to input the activity level by displaying a predetermined message in the unit 76, and the activity level input by the user is acquired.

In addition, when the activity level is input by the user, for example, when the activity level is divided into a plurality of levels (ranges) such as "low", "normal", and "high", the user is informed which level corresponds to. You can choose. Further, if the metabolism evaluation device 10 is installed in a sports gym and can collect information such as the time and contents of use of each training machine from the user information server 60, it is a stationary metabolism evaluation device 66. The acquisition unit 12 can also collect the above information from the user information server 60 and determine the activity level of the user based on the collected information.

On the other hand, if the activity level is not set to be input by the user each time the metabolic state is evaluated, the determination in step 146 is denied and the process proceeds to step 148. In step 148, the acquisition unit 12 is previously stored in the storage unit 20. Read the memorized default activity level (for example, rest-desk work level). Further, the metabolism evaluation device 10 is portable and may be configured to measure at least one parameter having a correlation with the activity level of the user, for example, the user's "step count", "walking time", "energy consumed by activity", and the like. For example, the measurement result of the above parameters may be acquired, and the activity level of the user may be determined based on the acquired measurement result of the above parameters.

In step 150, the arithmetic unit 14 determines the user's basal metabolic rate R obtained in step 140 or 142 and the user's activity level obtained in step 146 or 148. Calculate the energy consumption β per hour. The calculation method of the energy consumption for each activity level is known, and the user's hourly energy consumption β is calculated by converting the user's basal metabolic rate R into the user's hourly metabolic rate for each activity level. It can be calculated by adding the energy consumption of.

In the next step 152, the calculation unit 14 acquired the user sugar intake α obtained in step 132 or step 134, the user's energy consumption β per hour calculated in step 150, and the previous step 100. The elapsed time t after sugar intake of the user corresponding to the acetone concentration a is acquired from the metabolic state calculation table 50. Then, in step 154, the calculation unit 14 sets the user's carbohydrate intake α, the user's hourly energy consumption β, and the user's elapsed time t after carbohydrate intake acquired in step 152 (3). ), And calculate the residual sugar amount x of the user.

Further, in step 156, the calculation unit 14 calculates the user's lipid consumption amount y from the acetone concentration a acquired in the previous step 100. When the relationship between the acetone concentration a and the lipid consumption amount y is specified in the metabolic state calculation table 50, the lipid consumption amount y corresponding to the acetone concentration a is calculated in the metabolic state calculation instead of the above calculation. By reading from the table 50, it is also possible to obtain the lipid consumption amount y of the user.

Then, in step 158, the calculation unit 14 substitutes the user's carbohydrate residual amount x calculated in step 154 and the user's lipid consumption amount y calculated in step 156 into the above equations (1) and (2). , The user's carbohydrate residual rate X and lipid consumption rate Y are calculated. Then, information such as the user's acetone concentration a, sugar residual amount x, lipid consumption amount y, sugar residual rate X, and lipid consumption rate Y is stored in the storage unit 20 or the like (whether it is a stationary metabolism evaluation device 66). For example, it is also stored in the user information table 64 of the storage unit 62 of the user information server 60), and the metabolic state calculation process is terminated.

When the metabolic state calculation process is completed, the process proceeds to step 104 of the metabolic evaluation process, and in step 104, the acquisition unit 12 determines whether or not the elapsed time from the previous measurement of the acetone concentration a is within the predetermined time T1. As the predetermined time T1, for example, a value of about several hours (specifically, 6 hours) can be used.

When the elapsed time since the last measurement of the acetone concentration a exceeds T1 for a predetermined time, the previously measured acetone concentration a (previous acetone concentration a_b) is the current measured acetone concentration a (current acetone concentration a_n). It can be determined that the time interval of the measurement timing is too wide to be used as a comparison target. Therefore, if the determination in step 104 is denied, the process proceeds to step 106, and in step 106, the output unit 16 uses the user's current lipid consumption amount y calculated by the metabolic state calculation process. It is displayed on the display unit 30 or the display unit 76 in place of the current body fat burnup.

FIG. 12 shows an example of displaying the current degree of body fat burnup. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the current body fat burnup is represented by displaying the number of flame images according to the current body fat burnup, and the current body fat burnup is intuitive to the user. Can be grasped by.

Then, in the next step 108, the output unit 16 displays the user's current carbohydrate residual rate X and lipid consumption rate Y calculated by the metabolic state calculation process on the display unit 30 or the display unit 76, and performs the metabolism evaluation process. To finish. FIG. 13 shows an example of displaying the carbohydrate residual rate X and the lipid consumption rate Y. In the example shown in FIG. 13, the value of the residual carbohydrate ratio X and the image of the needle-type meter are displayed, and the needle of the meter is displayed at an angle according to the current ratio of residual carbohydrate and lipid consumption. It is possible to intuitively grasp the current ratio of carbohydrate residual to lipid consumption of the user, that is, the current metabolic state of the user. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 13, the evaluation information (evaluation message) that "it will be used up soon" is also displayed, which can help the user to understand the current metabolic state.

If the determination in step 104 is affirmed, the process proceeds to step 110, and in step 110, the acquisition unit 12 determines whether or not the elapsed time from the previous measurement of the acetone concentration a_b is T2 or more for a predetermined time. As the predetermined time T2, for example, a value of about several minutes to several tens of minutes (specifically, 10 minutes) can be used.

If the elapsed time from the previous measurement of the acetone concentration a_b is less than T2 for a predetermined time, the state of the user's metabolism has hardly changed since the previous measurement of the acetone concentration a_b (even if it has changed, the error range). Can be judged as (inside). Therefore, if the determination in step 110 is denied, the process proceeds to step 112, and in step 112, the output unit 16 notifies that the elapsed time from the previous measurement of the acetone concentration a_b is insufficient. , A message notifying the appropriate timing of remeasurement of the acetone concentration a is displayed on the display unit 30 or the display unit 76. When the process of step 112 is performed, the process proceeds to step 106, and the processes of steps 106 and 108 described above are performed.

On the other hand, if the elapsed time from the previous measurement of the acetone concentration a_b is T2 or more in the determination in step 110, it is also confirmed in the determination in step 104 that the elapsed time is within the predetermined time T1. , The previous acetone concentration a_b (state of metabolism obtained from) can be judged to be appropriate as a comparison target with the current acetone concentration a_n (state of metabolism obtained from). Therefore, if the determination in step 110 is affirmed, the process proceeds to step 114, and in step 114, the acquisition unit 12 acquires the previous acetone concentration a_b from the storage unit 20 or the like.

In the next step 116, the output unit 16 acquires and acquires the metabolism evaluation information according to the previous acetone concentration a_b and the current acetone concentration a_n or the amount of change in the acetone concentration (a_b-a_n) from the metabolism evaluation information table 52. The metabolism evaluation information is displayed on the display unit 30 or the display unit 76.

An example of displaying the metabolism evaluation information is shown in FIGS. 14 (A) to 14 (E). 14 (A) to 14 (E) show the metabolic evaluation information corresponding to different metabolic states in descending order of carbohydrate residual rate (or carbohydrate residual amount), that is, in ascending order of lipid consumption rate (or lipid consumption amount). It is arranged in. In the example shown in FIG. 14, the level of the residual sugar rate (or the residual amount of sugar) is represented by the number of images displayed in which the flame is added to the image of the tea bowl filled with rice, and the flame is shown in the image of the spoon scooped with fat. The level of the lipid consumption rate (or the amount of fat consumption) is represented by the number of displays of the images (FIGS. 14 (B) to (D)) to which the above is added. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 14, the image of the ignited match and the matchbox shows a state in which the lipid consumption rate (or lipid consumption) is 0 or close to 0 (FIG. 14 (A)), and an image of a large-sized flame. Therefore, the lipid consumption rate (or the amount of lipid consumption) is excessive (FIG. 14 (E)). With the above display, the user can intuitively grasp the change in the metabolic state from the previous measurement of the acetone concentration a_b.

The display of the metabolism evaluation information is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 14, and for example, when the previous measurement of the acetone concentration a_b (when the determination in step 104 or step 110 is denied), FIG. 15 (A) When the measurement of the acetone concentration a_b this time (when the determination in step 110 is affirmed) is displayed, the images shown in FIG. The image as shown in D) may be selectively displayed.

As an example, the image of FIG. 15 (A) displayed at the time of the previous measurement of the acetone concentration a_b shows the residual amount of sugar (or the residual ratio of sugar) at that time by the number of displayed images of the hot cake, and shows the fat cells. The amount of body fat that can be burned is represented by the number of imitated images displayed. Further, the images of FIGS. 15 (B) to 15 (D) displayed at the time of measuring the acetone concentration a_b this time represent the amount of sugar consumed from the time of the previous measurement of the acetone concentration a_b according to the number of displayed flame images, and the fat. The number of reductions in the display of images simulating cells represents the amount of body fat consumed since the previous measurement of the acetone concentration a_b. Even when displaying an image as shown in FIG. 15, the user can intuitively grasp the change in the metabolic state from the previous measurement of the acetone concentration a_b.

In the next step 118, the output unit 16 determines whether or not to output the reward information and the homework information. The reward information and homework information may be set in advance with or without output, or the presence or absence of output may be confirmed with the user each time. If the determination in step 118 is denied, the metabolism evaluation process is terminated.

If the determination in step 118 is affirmed, the process proceeds to step 120, and in step 120, the output unit 16 receives reward information and homework information corresponding to the current residual sugar amount x in the reward / homework information table. It is acquired from 54, displayed on the display unit 30 or the display unit 76, and the metabolism evaluation process is completed. As a result, users are aware of foods that can be taken as snacks (rewards) and behaviors that are recommended to be adopted as lifestyle habits in the future.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the acquisition unit 12 acquires the acetone concentration measured by the measurement unit 18, and the calculation unit 14 has the acetone concentration a and the residual sugar stored in advance in the storage unit 20. Based on the information of the metabolic state calculation table 50 that defines the relationship and the acetone concentration a acquired by the acquisition unit 12, the user's carbohydrate residue and lipid consumption are calculated, and the output unit 16 is the calculation unit 14. Since the user's carbohydrate residue and lipid consumption calculated by the above are output, the metabolic state including the carbohydrate residue can be evaluated without the need for blood sampling or the like.

Further, in the present embodiment, the acquisition unit 12 acquires the user's carbohydrate intake α when the user's carbohydrate intake α can be acquired, and the calculation unit 14 uses the acquisition unit 12 to acquire the user. When the carbohydrate intake α of the above is acquired, among the relationships between the acetone concentration a stored in the storage unit 20 for each carbohydrate intake α and the residual carbohydrate, the acetone corresponding to the user's carbohydrate intake α Since the user's carbohydrate residual and lipid consumption are calculated based on the relationship between the concentration a and the carbohydrate residual, the evaluation accuracy of the metabolic state is improved when the user's carbohydrate intake α can be obtained.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the user's carbohydrate intake α is not acquired by the acquisition unit 12, the default value is used as the carbohydrate intake α, so that the user's carbohydrate intake α is acquired. The state of metabolism can be evaluated even if it is not present.

Further, in the present embodiment, the acquisition unit 12 acquires the physical information of the user when the physical information including the physical constitution and the body composition of the user can be acquired, and the calculation unit 14 obtains the physical information of the user. When acquired, the user's hourly energy consumption β is calculated using the acquired physical information, and the relationship between the acetone concentration a stored in the storage unit 20 for each hourly energy consumption β and the residual sugar remains. Of these, the user's sugar residue and lipid consumption are calculated based on the relationship between the acetone concentration a corresponding to the user's hourly energy consumption β and the sugar residue, so that the user's physical information can be obtained. In such cases, the evaluation accuracy of the metabolic state is improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, when at least a part of the physical information of the user is not acquired by the acquisition unit 12, the calculation unit 14 uses the default value as the information not acquired by the user. Since the default value is used as the energy consumption β per hour of the user or the energy consumption β per hour of the user is used, when at least a part of the physical information of the user is not acquired. Can also evaluate the state of metabolism.

Further, in the present embodiment, the acquisition unit 12 acquires the activity level of the user when the activity level of the user can be acquired, and calculates when the activity level of the user is acquired by the acquisition unit 12. Part 14 calculates the energy consumption β per hour of the user using the acquired activity level, and among the relationships between the acetone concentration a stored in the storage unit 20 for each energy consumption β per hour and the residual sugar. , The user's sugar residue and lipid consumption are calculated based on the relationship between the calculated acetone concentration a corresponding to the user's hourly energy consumption β and the sugar residue, so that the user's activity level can be obtained. In such cases, the evaluation accuracy of the metabolic state is improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the activity level of the user is not acquired by the acquisition unit 12, the calculation unit 14 uses the default value as the activity level of the user and determines the energy consumption β per hour of the user. Since the calculation is performed or the default value is used as the energy consumption β per hour of the user, the state of metabolism can be evaluated even when the activity level of the user is not acquired.

Further, in the present embodiment, as the relationship between the acetone concentration a and the residual sugar, the relationship between the acetone concentration a and the elapsed time t after ingesting the sugar is defined for each sugar intake α and for each hourly energy consumption β. The metabolic state calculation table 50 is stored in advance in the storage unit 20, and the calculation unit 14 has an acetone concentration a corresponding to the value of the sugar intake α and the value of the energy consumption β per hour, and the progress after the sugar intake. From the relationship with the time t, the elapsed time t corresponding to the acetone concentration a is obtained, and the product of the value of the energy consumption β per hour and the obtained elapsed time t is subtracted from the value of the sugar intake α. Since the amount of residual sugar in the person is calculated and the amount of fat consumed by the user is calculated from the acetone concentration a, the relationship between the acetone concentration a and the elapsed time t after ingesting the sugar is determined by the amount of sugar intake α and per hour. The accuracy of evaluation of the metabolic state is improved as compared with the case where the energy consumption β is not separated.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the previous acetone concentration a_b and the current acetone concentration a_n are acquired by the acquisition unit 12, the output unit 16 separates the previous acetone concentration a_b and this time into the storage unit 20. Of the metabolic evaluation information stored in advance for each acetone concentration a_n, the metabolic evaluation information corresponding to the previous acetone concentration a_b and the current acetone concentration a_n is output. It is possible to evaluate the change in the state of metabolism from the time of measuring the acetone concentration a_b.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the storage unit 20, the amount of change from the previous acetone concentration a_b to the current acetone concentration a_n is different for each previous acetone concentration a_b in the range where the previous acetone concentration a_b is less than a predetermined value. Metabolism evaluation information is stored separately, and in the range where the previous acetone concentration a_b is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, the evaluation information is stored separately for the previous acetone concentration a_b and the current acetone concentration a_n, and the output unit 16 is an acquisition unit. When the previous acetone concentration a_b acquired by No. 12 is less than the predetermined value, the metabolism evaluation information corresponding to the previous acetone concentration a_b and the amount of change from the previous acetone concentration a_b to the current acetone concentration a_n is output. However, when the previous acetone concentration a_b is equal to or higher than the predetermined value, the metabolic evaluation information corresponding to the previous acetone concentration a_b and the current acetone concentration a_n is output, so that it depends on the level of residual sugar in the previous acetone concentration a_b. Appropriate metabolic evaluation information can be output.

By executing this, it is possible to make the device function as the metabolism evaluation device 10, acquire the measured ketone body concentration from the measuring device, and perform a process of calculating and outputting the sugar residue and lipid consumption of the user. be. Further, in the case of a portable device such as a smartphone, it is possible to function as an example of the metabolism evaluation device 10 having the configuration including the measurement unit 18 by mounting the measurement unit 18 and executing the metabolism evaluation program 48. be.

Further, in the above, the evaluation information (metabolism evaluation information) according to claims 9 to 11 is changed from the acetone concentration a (previous acetone concentration a_b, current acetone concentration a_n, or the previous acetone concentration a_b to the current acetone concentration a_n). The mode memorized separately has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and parameters having a correlation with the acetone concentration, such as the residual sugar amount x, the residual sugar ratio X, the lipid consumption amount y, and the lipid consumption It may be stored for each parameter of the rate Y, and the metabolism evaluation information may be selected and output based on the parameter.

Further, in the above, the reward information and the homework information are stored in the reward / homework information table 54 for each residual sugar amount x, and the reward information and the homework information corresponding to the residual sugar amount x are stored in the reward / homework information table. An aspect of acquiring and outputting from 54 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and reward information and homework information may be selected and output according to attributes such as the gender and age of the user in addition to the residual sugar amount x.
