Description

Result sheet for body compositional analysis

The present invention relates to a body composition analysis result sheet, and more particularly, to a body composition analysis result sheet which displays the amount of minerals inside the bone and the amount of the minerals outside the bone in order to display the body composition analysis results more accurately. .

The human body consists of water, protein, bones and fats, and each sum makes up weight. Quantitative measurement of these individual components is called human component analysis. Recently, as interest in obesity has increased, the need for body fat mass measurement has increased and the development of body fat analyzer has been activated. Body fat is a major indicator of obesity, which is the cause of adult disease, and is closely related to beauty. In particular, the amount of water is an important component of the body and closely related to the muscle mass that generates energy, the muscle mass in the body is an indicator of the nutritional status of the individual has a wide range of medical applications. In particular, patients with nutritional status, such as cancer patients and dialysis patients, can diagnose the rate of disease progression or therapeutic effects by periodically measuring the amount of muscle in their bodies. Nutritional status can also be diagnosed. Therefore, grasping the components of the body composition is the most basic checkup of the human body is increasing the need.

As a method of analyzing body composition, a method using a bioelectric impedance method, which is inexpensive and harmless to the human body, is widely used. The bioelectric impedance method sends a weak alternating current into the human body to measure the electrical resistance or electrical impedance of the human body and is measured. It is a method of measuring or inputting height and weight of a patient, and inputting the age and gender of the subject through a keyboard input, and then calculating the amount of body fluid, muscle mass, and body fat mass using the measured values and the inputted information. The inventors of the present invention have already quantified the right arm, left arm, torso, right leg and left leg water through Korean Patent Nos. 123,408, 161,602, 323,838 and quantify the body composition of intracellular fluid, extracellular fluid, protein, mineral, Measurement techniques were developed from the function of site-specific impedance, height and weight.

The bioelectrical impedance method is based on the fact that current flows through moisture in the human body. Literature is known to contain about 73% water, which makes it an electrically conductive material. In the bioelectric impedance method, Fat Free Mass is extracted on the assumption that a volume V of a conductor through which a current passes is constant.

As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional body composition analysis results are divided into the comprehensive evaluation 40 items together with the body composition analysis 10, the obesity diagnosis 20, and the body moisture test 30.

Among them, body composition analysis (10) is to quantify each component by separating intracellular fluid, extracellular fluid, protein, minerals, and body fat. Herein, intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid are the amount of body water, and when the amount of protein is added to the amount of protein, the amount of protein is increased, and the amount of protein is added (mineral fat) except body fat. In other words, the body fat and the amount excluding fat (fat mass) is the weight of the whole body.

On the other hand, the obesity diagnosis 20 was divided into substandard, standard, and standard above the horizontal axis, and included in the range of 95% to 105% when the standard was viewed as 100%. The left vertical axis is divided into height, weight, muscle mass, body fat mass, body fat percentage, and abdominal fat percentage to make it easier to determine whether each item falls within the standard range, is below the standard, or above the standard.

In addition, the body water test (30) is divided into the right arm, the left arm, the torso, the right leg, and the left leg by each part. Like the obesity diagnosis, the water distribution by the part (30) is set to the standard (80% to 120%) and below the standard. (80% or less) and above standard (120%). On the other hand, there are intracellular fluids and extracellular fluids in body water, and the ratio of extracellular fluid to total body water is called edema index. Edema is an imbalance of moisture in and out of the cell, and increases in the case of malnutrition due to aging, low muscular obesity, water imbalance due to disease, temporary fatigue and swelling.

Finally, the comprehensive evaluation (40) is a combination of body composition analysis, obesity diagnosis, and body moisture test items. Muscle types, nutritional status, upper and lower balances, left and right balances are divided into three levels: standard, substandard (or underweight) and above standard. In this way, the examinee was able to evaluate his / her body composition analysis comprehensively.

Tabulated evaluation is a labeling method for evaluating each part or for classifying items. The display of the results of the conventional body composition analysis only includes the minerals together in the lean mass, and the minerals are divided into the minerals present in the bone and the minerals present in the outer body. Indeed, the minerals present outside the bone can be included in the muscle mass and the minerals present inside the bone must be included in the lean mass. In the past, the classification of such minerals is not accurate, which makes it difficult to provide accurate values for the muscle mass. there was.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a body composition analysis result sheet displaying the exact value by dividing the amount of minerals into minerals inside the bone and minerals outside the bone so that the results of the body composition analysis are more easily understood by the subject. have.

It is characterized by including the calculated result.

In addition, in the present invention, it is characterized in that it further comprises an advertisement item for advertising in any part of the body composition analysis result sheet.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying Figures 2 to 5 will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Body composition analysis result paper according to the present invention is based on the device that can analyze the body composition by region using the impedance method. A schematic diagram of such a site-specific impedance body fat analyzer is shown in FIG. 2.

Referring to FIG. 2, the impedance measurement is performed by measuring the impedance measurement circuit 19, which is composed of electrodes 31 to 38 contacting hands and feet, a current application circuit and a voltage application circuit, as in a general method. The electronic switch 18 to select, the input unit 12 through the keypad for inputting information such as the gender age and body measurement data of the subject, the display unit 39 for displaying the measurement status and results, the weight measuring unit for measuring the weight ( 16), an amplifier 23, an A / D converter 21, and a central controller 22 that performs arithmetic and control functions. To measure the bioimpedance, the subject inputs the subject's information such as gender, age, height, etc. before measuring the impedance. Information that can be measured, such as height, can be automatically entered into a separate measurement tool, such as an ultrasonic extensometer or displacement gauge. In addition, personal information such as gender and age may allow the body composition analyzer to read data of a personal card (not shown) in which the subject's health history is input.

When the input of such personal information is completed, the measurer holds the left hand electrodes 32 and 33 and the right hand electrodes 31 and 34 formed on the handle with both hands, and the right foot electrodes 35 and 36 and the left foot electrodes 37, 38), the load sensor (not shown) in the lower portion of the power pole can measure the load of the subject. For impedance measurement, the current of known magnitude is flowed and the voltage is measured at the desired area, and the impedance is calculated by Ohm's law to analyze the body composition. The body composition analysis result according to the present invention is limited to biometric analysis using an impedance measuring instrument, but not all components of the impedance measuring instrument. In other words, although a switch is included as an embodiment of the present invention, a separate switch device may not be included.

When the body composition analysis is completed, the output unit 11 outputs a body composition analysis result sheet. FIG. 3 is a body composition analysis result sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the left side of the result sheet includes body composition analysis 110, skeletal muscle fat analysis 120, obesity diagnosis 130, body balance 140, and edema index 150. 210, weight management 220, obesity diagnosis 230, body balance 240, body strength 250, health diagnosis 260, and weight control 270.

The body composition analysis 110 includes items of intracellular moisture, extracellular moisture, proteins, minerals, and body fat at the left end of the vertical axis. In addition, items of measured values, body water, muscle mass, lean body mass, and weight are included at the upper end of the horizontal axis.

Hereinafter, the body composition analysis 110 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4.

In FIG. 4, the lean body mass is obtained from the bioelectrical impedance measurement. As described above, about 73% of the lean body mass is assumed to be body water. Once the total body water content is obtained, low frequency current is added to obtain extratracelluar water by the measured bioelectric impedance, and high frequency current is added to obtain total body water by the measured bioelectric impedance. As such, intracellular and extracellular moisture in body water can be obtained by multi-frequency analysis. That is, when the measurement value of intracellular moisture and the measurement value of extracellular moisture 12.1 are added based on FIG. 4, the body water is 30.4. The amount of protein is known to be composed of a certain ratio of intracellular fluid, and when the intracellular fluid is obtained, the protein can be obtained by the ratio. In the result paper of Fig. 4, the body water is 30.4 and the protein is 7.9.

On the other hand, the minerals occupied by human body components can be estimated by a regression equation using a database precisely measured by a bone density measuring device (DEXA), which is known to occupy a certain ratio of fat-free mass or body water. In this human component analysis, the inorganic mass is an estimate and the mineral can be divided into non-osseous minerals and bone minerals. Minerals outside the bone and minerals inside the bone can be further divided by a percentage. The mineral mass outside the bone in the mineral can be added to the muscle mass consisting of the sum of body water and protein, and the mineral inside the bone can be included in the lean mass. In this case, if you add 0.47, the inorganic mass outside the bone, the muscle mass is 38.7. In contrast, the muscle mass of 38.7 is the lean mass of 41.2, excluding 2.47, the inorganic mass in the bone. Here, the inorganic mass outside the bone is obtained by subtracting 2.47, the inorganic mass in the bone, from 2.94, the total inorganic mass. That is, looking at the box 111 in Figure 4, the entire mineral can be divided into minerals in the bone and minerals outside the bone, minerals outside the bone of the mineral should belong to the muscle mass. In addition, it is disclosed that the minerals in the bone and the minerals outside the bone add up to the total inorganic mass, while the minerals outside the bone can be included in the muscle mass. Therefore, the lean mass of 41.2 should be added to the muscle mass of 38.7 and the mineral of bone, 2.47. The body fat mass 16.8 can be calculated by subtracting the body fat mass 41.2 from the body weight 58.0.

Through the results of the body composition analysis, the minerals outside the bones are included in the muscle mass, and the minerals in the bones are included in the lean body mass, thereby providing accurate body composition analysis results.

In addition, the substandard, standard, and above standard items are included at the top of the horizontal axis. The weight, skeletal muscle mass, and fat mass, which are divided at the left end of the vertical axis, make it easy to determine whether it is within the standard range, below the standard or above the standard for each item.

The obesity diagnosis 130 at the bottom of the skeletal muscle fat analysis 120 item includes items of BMI (Body Mass Index), Percent Body Fat, and Waist-Hip Ratio at the left end of the vertical axis. Includes substandard, standard, and above standard items at the top of the. The BMI, body fat percentage, and abdominal fat percentage items on the left side can be easily determined whether they fall within the standard range, below the standard, or above the standard.

Referring again to FIG. 3, the edema index 150 on the right side of the body balance 140 item is a phenomenon that occurs when extracellular moisture increases above a certain level as compared to intracellular moisture. Edema index 150 is shown as two items, ECW / TBW and ECF / TBF. Here, ECW (extracellular water) and TBW (total body water) are extracellular water and total body water, and ECF (extracellular fluid) and TBF (total body fluid) are extracellular fluids containing various organic and inorganic substances as well as water. The total amount of.

In addition, research items and body balance can be indicated on the results sheet.

In addition, in FIG. 3, the weight control item 270 may be displayed. In the method of displaying the weight control item, the weight loss is required for the weight control column when the weight is required to be compared with the current weight. do. Reduction methods can suggest fat and muscle control, including physical development. Each adjustment is expressed in kilograms or body development in points.
