Description

Result sheet for body compositional analysis

The present invention relates to a body composition analysis result paper, and more particularly to a body composition analysis result paper for displaying the body composition analysis results of the subject 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%).

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. According to the results of the conventional body composition analysis, the muscle mass indicating body balance was measured at the upper end of the standard ranges such as the standard weight, the standard weight, and the standard weight. There was a difficulty in understanding where the current position was in consideration of the weight of each part.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a body composition analysis result sheet which displays the exact value in the graph or numerical value of the degree of overstress for the muscle mass of each site so that the subject can easily recognize the body composition analysis result.

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, edema index 150, and nutritional assessment 210 on the right side. ), 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.

Referring back to FIG. 3, the skeletal muscle fat analysis 120 at the bottom of the body composition analysis 110 item includes items of weight, skeletal muscle mass, and body fat mass at the left end of the vertical axis. 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.

The body balance 140 at the bottom of the obesity diagnosis 130 item includes the right arm, left arm, torso, right leg, left leg items at the left end of the vertical axis, and includes substandard, standard, and above standard items at the top of the horizontal axis. do.

Hereinafter, the body balance 140 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4.

In Figure 4, body balance 140 shows the muscle mass for each part. It is represented by two horizontal bar graphs for each part, which is divided into a discontinuous bar 141 and a continuous bar 142. The discontinuous bar 141 represents the absolute value of the muscle mass of the subject and is in kilograms. That is, in FIG. 4, the muscle mass of the right arm is 1.44 kg when looking at the discontinuous bar 141. The 100% line of the standard of the horizontal axis, which is the baseline that determines the length of the discontinuous rod 141, is an ideal muscle mass in the ideal body weight for the subject's height, and does not consider the subject's weight. In addition, the continuous bar 142 shows the percentage of the muscle mass of the subject compared to the ideal muscle mass to have in the weight of the subject is a unit, the unit is%, the 100% line that is the reference line to determine the length of the continuous bar 402 is the subject The ideal muscle mass should be equal to the weight of the subject. That is, in FIG. 4, the muscle mass of the right arm is 87%, which is less than 100% of the ideal muscle mass to have in the weight of the subject. That is, by displaying the ideal muscle mass in consideration of the weight of the subject together with the absolute value of the muscle mass as a percentage, when the weight is increased compared to the ideal weight in case of overweight or obesity, the length of the discontinuous rod 141 is long and the The state is displayed close to the 100% line to prevent a mistake in the state of the muscle mass of the subject even though the body composition is not good compared to the actual weight of the subject. Therefore, when the weight is increased due to body fat rather than muscle mass, the length of the continuous bar 142 is shortened, thereby enabling a more realistic diagnosis of the muscle mass of the subject. In summary, when the muscle mass is normal compared to the weight, the length of the discontinuous rod 141 and the continuous rod 142 is similar, and when the muscle mass is not large compared to the weight, the length of the continuous rod 142 is shortened. In addition, despite the low weight, if the muscle mass is appropriate, the length of the continuous bar 142 is longer than the length of the discontinuous bar 141.

Therefore, the absolute value of the muscle mass for each part and the ratio of the current muscle mass to the ideal muscle mass in the weight of the subject are displayed together, so that a more accurate body composition analysis result can be obtained.

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.

It is possible to include the above. In the nutrition evaluation 210, protein, fat, and inorganic mass are divided into normal and abnormal, and normal is good and abnormal is classified into insufficient or excessive. After dividing as described above, it is preferable to mark the ∨. In addition, in weight management 220, it is preferable to classify the weight, muscle mass, and body fat into three levels of normal or short and excessive abnormality as well as the standard. On the other hand, in the obesity diagnosis 230, the BMI amount, body fat percentage, WHR is normally expressed as a standard, and abnormal cases are separately indicated, and abnormal cases are preferably classified as insufficient or excessive and marked with ∨.

Body balance 240, body strength 250, and health diagnosis 260 are also included in the results, and body balance 240 is further divided into upper body balance, lower body balance, and upper and lower balance, and the balance, severe imbalance, and weakness for each balance. Mark it as unbalanced. In addition, in the body strength 250, it is preferable to classify the upper body strength, lower body strength, muscle strength, and each of the strengths divided into standard, developmental, fragile, and then mark ∨. In the health diagnosis (260) items, the body water quantity, edema value, and lifestyle were divided and normalized and abnormal phases were marked and marked for each subject to allow the examinee to evaluate their own body composition analysis.

Body composition analysis result according to the above-described embodiment includes the above-described items, it is obvious that various items can be added. In other words, it is obvious that additional data and various edema indexes, which are variations of impedance, blood pressure, and edema index, are applied to the body composition analysis field.
