Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a biometric device capable of easily measuring a state of a living body such as a swallowing function of the oral cavity and fat.SOLUTION: A swallowing muscles measuring instrument 1 supplies a pair of electrodes 11a and 11b with an AC current from a power supply part 23. A voltage measurement part 24 measures a voltage between a pair of electrodes 12a and 12b, and an impedance is calculated from a relationship between the measured voltage and current. A control part 35 calculates, from the measured impedance, a state of the living body such as an index representing a state of the swallowing muscles such as lingual pressure, a state of fat, and the like. 【課題】簡易に口腔嚥下機能や脂肪等の生体の状態を測定することができる生体測定装置を提供する。【解決手段】嚥下筋測定装置1は、一対の電極11a,11bに電流供給部23からの交流電流を供給し、電圧測定部24が一対の電極12a,12b間の電圧を測定し、測定された電圧と電流の関係からインピーダンスを算出する。制御部35は、測定されたインピーダンスから舌圧等の嚥下筋の状態を示す指標,脂肪の状態等の生体の状態を算出する。【選択図】図1
