Abstract:
This paper includes the description of a measuring tape, the world’s first anthropometric device, which determines the human body composition even at tissue and molecular levels, within a minute.This invented tape remains very light in weight, non-clinical, non-invasive, non-electric, and eco-friendly. Even the pregnant women, pacemaker holders, sick, obese or bedridden people can use this flexible measuring tape.This device functions without use of battery or any other power supply. The users get the accurate results, instantly. This invention helps determine PBF and Body Fat Mass, FFM, Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM), Total Body Water (TBW), Intracellular Water (ICW), Extracellular Water (ECW), Dry Lean Mass (DLM), Proteins, Minerals, Body Cell Mass (BCM), Bone Mass (BM), Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), BMI value, Visceral Fat Mass (VFM), Trunk Fat Mass, Waist Circumference to Body Height Ratio (WHtR), and Age Peak Height Velocity (in the growing children). In the case of users more than 12 years old, the present invention requires Body Height, Waist Circumference and Body Weight to give the results. Only APHV measurement needs the user’s Age.
