We analyzed the absorption spectra of the skin surface taken by a mid-infrared, attenuated-total-reflection
method for non-invasive measurements of blood lipid levels. The absorption spectra were acquired
over several hours before and after meals and investigated the correlation with changes in blood lipid
levels. The multivariate analysis results of the absorption spectra suggest the possibility of predicting
concentrations of triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood. We predicted the concentration of low-density
lipoprotein cholesterol from the absorption intensity at a single wavelength.
