Vectors for bioelectrical impedance measurement
Abbreviation	Description
	“Foot to Foot” vector: the pads were placed proximal and lateral to the ankle on the left and right leg
	“Hand to Hand” vector: the pads were placed proximal and dorsal to the wrist on the left and right arm
	“Foot to Hand” vector for whole body impedance with the pad placed proximal and lateral to the ankle on the left leg and the proximal and dorsal to the wrist of the left arm
	“Transthoracic” vector measurement: the pads were placed in the 5th intercostal spaces in the left and right axillary lines
