Is the fat content normal? However, due to the items that the body composition analyzer can detect Quite a few, for example, can measure total body water, protein weight, muscle and fat...etc., and these body composition information are often provided to subjects in paper form. Therefore, if you want to increase the aforementioned muscle value or A bar chart comparing fat values with standard values will inevitably increase the length of the paper or the proportion of the displayed content must be reduced, resulting in inconvenience in use.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for displaying body composition data, which can allow the subject to understand whether the measured value meets the standard without increasing the length of the paper or reducing the proportion of the displayed content, and is practical in use. the convenience.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for displaying body composition data, which includes: displaying a graphic spline; displaying a first region representing a first body composition, and the first region is represented by the graphic spline. The content shows the health level of the first body component, and an intersection point is displayed in the first area; a second area is displayed, representing a second body component, and the second area surrounds the first area, and the The second area uses the content of the graphic spline to display the health degree of the second body component; and displays a plurality of dividing lines, each of which crosses the intersection point, and divides the first and second areas into plural Sub-regions, each of which represents different parts of the human body.

Thus, the present invention provides a method for displaying volume composition data, which can be achieved without increasing the length of the paper or reducing the size of the paper by displaying the technical features of graphic bars, first regions, second regions, third regions and plural dividing lines. In the case of displaying the proportion of the content, the subject can know whether the measured value meets the standard, which is convenient in use.
