Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the multiple frequency bio-electrical impedance analysis method for body composition analysis. And then we implement the multiple frequency bio-electrical impedance analysis system. Overall system consists of: multiple frequency alternating current signal generator contained alternating current signal, phase signal detector, voltage signal detector, micro controller, in-out device(key-pad LCD), conductivity electrodes, system power. We explain the architecture of the system and required theory to implement the system. In order to investigate the clinical significance of the body composition data, compare to the data measured by the expert body composition analyzer which provide high reproduction and precision. Finally, experimental results which are the correlation between the measured data show the very high reproduction performance of the body composition analysis in the proposed system.

본 논문에서는 신체 성분 분석을 위한 다주파수 생체전기 임피던스 분석법에 대하여 소개하고 이를 기반으로 다주파수 생체전기 임피던스 분석 시스템을 구현하고 그 과정 및 결과를 제시하였다. 시스템의 구성요소들을 다주파수 교류 신호 발생부, 위상 신호 검출부, 전압 신호 검출부, 제어부, 입 출력부, 전극부, 전원부로 구분하여 설명하고, 구체적으로 구현 기법을 소개하였다. 체성분 데이터의 임상적 의의를 검토하고자 세계 최고 수준의 기술을 적용하여 높은 재현도와 고정밀도의 데이터를 제공하는 전문가용 체성분 분석기로 측정한 데이터와 비교 검토하고 두 측정치간의 상관관계를 구한 결과 시스템에 의한 체성분 분석은 상당히 높은 재현성을 나타낸다고 할 수 있다.
