PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a biological data measuring toilet bowl capable of measuring the amount of urine with high precision by simple operation without lowering the excrement discharge function of a western style toilet bowl. SOLUTION: A western-style toilet bowl 11 has a bowl 16 for receiving of urine of a user, a water supply nozzle 24 for washing the inside of the bowl 16, a trap 25 for storing stored water W1 for allowing the bowl 16 to communicate with a sewage pipe 35 through a connection chamber 26 demarcated from the open air to seal the sewage pipe with water and the liftable free end 25a provided to the side end of the sewage pipe of the trap 25 positioned in the connection chamber 26 in order to set a flooding water level F. The flooding water level F set to the same height as the stored water level W1L in the trap 25 is moved to a position higher than the stored water level W1L by raising the free end part 25a by a moving means 28 and the change amount of the stored water level W1L due to urine discharged into the bowl 16 is measured by a trap back pressure measuring means 33 or a water level measuring means 27 to measure a urination amount.
