Abstract
To appropriately assess lifestyle relating to metabolic syndrome. An ultrasonic probe captures an image of an abdomen of a subject and outputs a tomographic image of the abdomen. A feature assessing unit includes a learning model and a measuring unit, and outputs assessment index data indicating respective features of at least a subcutaneous fat layer, a visceral fat layer and right and left rectus abdominis muscle among living body portions visualized in the tomographic image. A measure presenting unit selectively presents one of a plurality of measure patterns obtained by systematically classifying measures concerning lifestyle, in accordance with the assessment index data.

A lifestyle assessment system which assesses lifestyle relating to metabolic syndrome, the lifestyle assessment system comprising:
- a feature assessing unit configured to identify each of regions of right and left rectus abdominis muscle and a region of a predetermined fat layer among living body portions visualized in a tomographic image acquired by an image of an abdomen of a subject being captured with an ultrasonic probe, and output at least rectus abdominis muscle assessment index data indicating a feature of a shape of the right and left rectus abdominis muscle and fat layer assessment index data indicating a quantitative feature of the fat layer as assessment index data of lifestyle;
- and
- a measure presenting unit including a knowledge database in which the feature of the shape of the right and left rectus abdominis muscle, the quantitative feature of the fat layer and measure patterns obtained by systematically classifying measures concerning lifestyle are associated and configured to selectively present one of the measure patterns by inputting the rectus abdominis muscle assessment index data and the fat layer assessment index data to the knowledge database.
A lifestyle assessment program for assessing lifestyle relating to metabolic syndrome, the lifestyle assessment program causing a computer to execute processing comprising:
- a first step of identifying each of regions of right and left rectus abdominis muscle and a region of a predetermined fat layer among living body portions visualized in a tomographic image acquired by an image of an abdomen of a subject being captured with an ultrasonic probe, and outputting at least rectus abdominis muscle assessment index data indicating a feature of a shape of the right and left rectus abdominis muscle and fat layer assessment index data indicating a quantitative feature of the fat layer as assessment index data of lifestyle;
- and
- a second step of selectively presenting one of measure patterns by inputting the rectus abdominis muscle assessment index data and the fat layer assessment index data to a knowledge database in which the feature of the shape of the right and left rectus abdominis muscle, the quantitative feature of the fat layer, and the measure patterns obtained by systematically classifying measures concerning lifestyle are associated.
