A current applying electrode is placed on at least one body part which is highly useful in estimating a subcutaneous fat tissue volume on the truncal abdominal circumference, the other current applying electrode is placed on a body part protruding from the trunk, a voltage measuring electrode is placed in the vicinity of the one current applying electrode on the truncal abdominal circumference, and the other voltage measuring electrode is placed on a body part protruding from the trunk which is different from the body part on which the other current applying electrode is placed, to measure the impedance of the trunk so as to acquire the subcutaneous fat tissue layer information of the trunk. A shared electrode serving as a current applying electrode out of a current applying electrode pair and a voltage measuring electrode out of a voltage measuring electrode pair and having a wide electrode area is placed on the trunk and the other current applying electrode and the other voltage measuring electrode are placed on the extremities to measure the impedance of the trunk.
