Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/049038
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and system for indirect estimation of the abdominal subcutaneous fat area and the abdominal visceral fat area. A method for determining the abdominal visceral fat area and the subcutaneous fat area in user's body section in the abdominal region, comprising: emitting radiation into the user's body and measuring parameters of reflected radiation using a device; based on the reflected radiation measurement data, determining the abdominal subcutaneous fat area (ASFA) in the user's body section; acquiring user's anthropometric data and bio-electrical impedance value of the user's body; based on the bio-electrical impedance data of the user's body and the user's anthropometric data, determining total fat area (TFA) in the user's body section in the abdominal region; calculating the abdominal visceral fat area (AVFA) in the user's body section from the determined total fat area and the abdominal subcutaneous fat area.
