FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: device contains multiple arm leg electrodes; detection section for detection of multiple differences of potentials on each of multiple body sites, including all body, both hands and both feet of examined person with application of arm electrodes and leg electrodes, determination unit for automatic determination of body section for calculation by impedance, which corresponds to each difference of potentials, and standardised area of values, preliminarily set for each body section; unit of body composition calculation for calculation of body composition for whole body of examined person by differences if potentials, corresponding to body section, and information about examined person's body; and display block for displaying information, which relates to part of the body where difference of potentials, used in calculation of body composition for whole body, must be detected.
EFFECT: application of invention allows to increase reliability and accuracy of results of body composition calculation.
