Since metabolic syndrome is a cause of lifestyle-related diseases, and its early diagnosis and an evaluation of visceral fat are important, this study proposes a new method of estimating the amount of fat. The goal of this study is to estimate visceral fat from estimation of subcutaneous fat and total fat. The subcutaneous fat is estimated from the elasticity of the lumbar area, and the total fat is estimated from body information such as the abdominal vertical and lateral width, and body weight. Finally, the estimated subcutaneous fat is subtracted from the estimated total fat to calculate the visceral fat. Measurement tests conducted to verify the constructed visceral fat estimation model showed good results, with a correlation of 0.96 between the visceral fat area estimated by the proposed method and the actual measured area. The reproducibility of the estimation model was also verified by the cross validation method.
