Abstract
Disclosed is a body composition measurement device provided with a current electrode pair for applying current and a plurality of voltage electrode pairs for measuring voltage at a plurality of measurement points. A controller measures body fat on the basis of voltages measured at the plurality of measurement points by means of the voltage electrode pairs. The controller uses the measured voltages at the plurality of measurement points to perform integration and calculates the amount of body fat on the basis of the integration result.
