The information of volunteers in the experiment including age, BME, body fat (%) and fasting glucose

	Age	BMI	Body fat (%)	Fasting glucose (mmol/l)
mean ±	31.9 ±	22.1 ±	20.7 ± 6.9	7.4 ±
std	6.6	3.5		1.8
min	18	17.3	6.2	4.9
max	44	27.6	33.1	10.9

Correlation coefficients and the corresponding confidence intervals (95%) between the local impedances measured at 4 locations: the upper arm, the belly, the back and the thigh, and the two parameters: the body fat and fasting glucose of all 21 volunteers_ The best results are highlighted in boldness and red_ Abbreviation: Cor_ Coef: correlation coefficient_ CI: confidence interval (95%)
