Abstract
Description
通常、内臓脂肪量の測定には、X線CT(Computed Tomography)あるいはMRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging)等を用いた画像解析法が利用されている。この画像解析法においては、X線CTあるいはMRI等を用いることで取得した胴部の断層画像から内臓脂肪断面積が幾何学的に算出される。しかしながら、このような測定方法を用いるためには、X線CTやMRI等、医療施設に設置される大型の設備を使用することが必要であり、そのため当該測定方法を用いて日常的に内臓脂肪量を測定することは非常に困難である。また、X線CTを利用した場合には、被曝の問題もあり、好ましい測定方法とは必ずしも言えない。
これに代わる測定方法として、生体インピーダンス法を応用することが検討されている。生体インピーダンス法は、家庭用の体脂肪測定装置において広く利用されている体脂肪量の測定方法であり、四肢に電極を接触配置させ、これら電極を用いて生体インピーダンスを測定することにより、測定された生体インピーダンスから体脂肪量を算出するものである。上述の体脂肪測定装置は、全身または四肢、胴部といった身体の部位別の体脂肪の蓄積度合いを正確に測定できるものである。
図1(A)に示すように、胴部全体の生体インピーダンスを得るためには、被験者の左手の表面および右手の表面にそれぞれ電極EIaA1,EIaA2が取付けられる。また、被験者の左足の表面および右足の表面にもそれぞれ電極EIbA1,EIbA2が取付けられる。そして、被験者の背部表面には、体軸方向に沿って並ぶように配置された一対の電極が、胴部の横幅方向に沿って4組取付けられる。すなわち、被験者の背部表面には、図示するように、電極EVaA1,EVbA1,EVaA2,EVbA2,EVaA3,EVbA3,EVaA4,EVbA4の合計8個の電極が取付けられる。
ここで、胴部断面積Stは、胴部周囲長(いわゆるウエスト長)や、胴部の横幅および縦幅を用いて算出することが可能である。たとえば、胴部の横幅および縦幅から胴部断面積Stを算出する場合には、胴部の横幅を2×a、胴部の縦幅を2×bとすれば、胴部の断面形状はおおよそ楕円形であるため、胴部断面積Stは、以下の式(2)で近似できる。
ただし、上記式(2)で近似される胴部断面積Stは、誤差が多く含まれている可能性が高いため、誤差を低減するための係数αをこれに乗ずることによって、より正確な胴部断面積Stを求めることが好ましい。この係数αとしては、たとえば多数のX線CTによる画像サンプルに基づいて、当該画像サンプルから得られる胴部断面積St′と、上記aおよびbとの関係から、St′=α×π×a×bを充足するαの最適値を求めることで得られる。
なお、上記補正のために乗ずる係数αに関しては、被験者の性別、年齢、身長、体重等の情報(以下、これらを総称して被験者情報と称する)に応じて適宜最適化することが好ましい。すなわち、当該被験者情報に応じて上記係数αの値を変更することにより、より高精度に胴部断面積Stが近似できることになる。
ここで、上記aは、上述のとおり胴部の横幅の半分の値であり、胴部の大きさに関係する値である。この胴部の大きさに関係する値としては、上記aに限られず、たとえば胴部の横幅および縦幅が反映されるようにa×bを使用してもよいし、胴部断面積Stを使用してもよいし、胴部周囲長を使用してもよい。
ここで、上記aは、上述のとおり胴部の横幅の半分の値であり、胴部の大きさに関係する値である。この胴部の大きさに関係する値としては、上記aに限られず、たとえば胴部の横幅および縦幅が反映されるようにa×bを使用してもよいし、胴部断面積Stを使用してもよいし、胴部周囲長を使用してもよい。

次に、図3および図6を参照して、この胴部幅測定装置100を用いた、被験者の胴部横幅2×aおよび胴部縦幅2×bの測定手順について説明する。被験者は仰臥位姿勢において、接触部130が接触検出部140に接触する状態に位置する。接触部130が接触検出部140に接触しない状態では、測定を開始することはできない。
また、第1支持点A1から第2支持点A2までの水平方向長さh5が、以下の式(8)に基づき算出される。
その結果、ベルト部材110を用いた場合には、ベルトの厚みをtとして、下記の式(9)により被験者の胴部横幅2×aが算出される。
