In order to assess the individual health state, we propose newly developed technique and method based on correlation with health which are obtained from sixteen kinds of biomedical information. The new indicator "Total Body Score (TBS)" is defined by the method using a data set of seventy-eight Japanese males and females whose ages vary from twenty-two to sixty-three years old. The utility and the practicality of TBS are examined according to the criteria of metabolic syndrome (MS) proposed by The Japanese Society of Internal Medicine. A significant difference between MS and non-MS person is observed in TBS. Compared to the well-known index called the Body Age, the TBS index more properly indicates the physical condition of individuals. The TBS index is sufficiently utilized for comprehensive assessment of human health state better than the conventional criteria. It is clarified, therefore, that the proposed technique and method are superior to assess biomedical information and useful for preventive medicine and health science.
