A method of examining and diagnosing a life-style related disease, which comprises irradiating test samples originating in a subject and other animals with light having wavelength falling within the range of from 400 nm to 2500 nm or a part of this range, detecting reflected light, transmitted light or transmitted/reflected light to obtain an absorption spectral data and then analyzing the absorbances at all of the measured wavelengths or a specific wavelength with the use of an analytical model having been preliminarily formed; and an apparatus therefor. |
