Description

Body fat measuring device {DEVICE FOR MEASURING OF BODY FAT}

The present invention relates to a body fat measuring apparatus, and more particularly, to a body fat measuring apparatus capable of guiding a user's foot to be accurately placed on a power generation pole and preventing the power generation pole from being contaminated.

In general, the main components of the body are mainly composed of four components: water, protein, fat, and minerals. The proportion of these components in body weight varies by gender and individual, but is approximately 55: 20: 20: 5. These four body components can be known from the body water content. Because protein and body water are the main components of muscle building, they have a mutually proportional relationship. In other words, about 73 are water, and the remaining 27 are protein. Minerals are primarily bone forming weights, which in turn are closely related to muscle mass. In other words, the amount of protein and inorganic mass can be obtained from the amount of body water, and the amount of body fat is obtained by subtracting the amount of body water, protein and inorganic mass from the body weight. Currently, the most widely used method for body fat measurement is a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and there is an underwater body density method which is a reference method.

The bioelectrical impedance method is a method of measuring the percentage of body fat by paying attention to the inverse relationship between the amount of body water and the electrical resistance of the body. The bioelectrical impedance method has the advantage that the measurement is simple and fast, non-invasive. When a weak alternating current electrical signal is sent to the human body, electricity flows through the highly conductive body water. The more and less water, the wider and narrower the passage through which electricity flows. The measurement is bio-impedance. The principle of calculating the body composition from the bioimpedance first flows a minute alternating current of about 1 mA to the human body in the frequency band of 50 kHz. When the current flows through the human body, measure the human body resistance and use it to find the amount of body water. The amount of protein and inorganic mass is obtained from the amount of body water, and the percentage of body fat is determined using the amount of protein, inorganic mass and weight.
