FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to medicine. Device for control of visceral and subcutaneous fat contains first measuring device for measuring vertical and horizontal width of abdominal area, second measuring device for measuring fat mass, which represents value, connected with visceral fat, subcutaneous fat and fat-free area of subject, with application of impedance; and device for processing presentation for presentation of image of transverse section of subject's abdominal area, showing shape, corresponding to external shape of subject's abdominal area, and shape corresponding to state of abdominal area fat. Device for image processing is made with possibility of realising first process of determining elliptic shape, specified by vertical width and horizontal width, which are measured by first measuring device, and second process of determining elliptic shape, representing each of masses of visceral fat, subcutaneous fat and fat-free mass relative to elliptic shape, basing on respective ratio of visceral fat mass, subcutaneous fat mass and fat-free mass to transverse section of subject's abdominal area. Alternative versions of device implementation are disclosed.
EFFECT: providing reliable determination of fat mass and distribution.
