Regarding the items, the latest predetermined number of measurement data accumulated through measurements is statistically processed to determine the trend of recent data of the healthy person concerned, that is, the degree of health of the healthy person being measured has a continuous trend. The present invention relates to a highly accurate health management device that determines the level of health based on statistical trends such as whether the patient's health is improving, whether the patient is showing an improving trend, or whether the patient's health is showing a declining trend. [Prior Art] Conventionally, it has been common for healthy people to judge the presence or absence of a disease based on their own subjective symptoms, but the onset of the disease is earlier than the subjective symptoms. At that point, the disease has already progressed, and in some cases, the condition is already severe by the time subjective symptoms appear, so there are problems in determining morbidity based on subjective symptoms. In addition, although many medical checkup devices (such as blood pressure monitors) are in widespread use, the normal values of the measurement data described in the manuals of these devices are average values that include each age group and gender. Furthermore, since the values listed in the manual will continue to be used until the use of the medical examination equipment is stopped, a fairly wide range of normal values is considered. [Problem to be solved by the invention] However, when using these medical examination devices, in reality, there are individual differences in normal values, so each person has a standard value range or the latest There was a problem that the judgment was not based on actually measured data. Furthermore, although scales for measuring body weight have been widely used for a long time, they can only be used as a guideline as a health device. Medical examination equipment that outputs guidelines has not yet been provided.
