465 CORTISOL LEVELS AND SKIN FOLD THICKNESS IN BPD

relations between lateral abdominal muscles thickness, body mass index, waist circumference and skin fold thickness.

in light of provided progresses in ultrasound measurements of lateral abdominal muscles, an important role for these muscles, particularly transverse abdominis (tra) muscle in stability of the spine has been suggested. some authors have found significant correlations between body mass index (bmi) and thickness of these muscles. the aim of this study was to examine possible association between d...

Does fetal gender affect nuchal skin-fold thickness?

Agreement between body mass index, waist circumference and skin-fold thickness in the United Kingdom Army.

BACKGROUND Body Mass Index (BMI) does not distinguish between fat-free mass and fat mass, yet this distinction is important as a clinical tool, especially in the military and occupations for which physical fitness is important. AIM This study assessed the level of agreement between BMI, sum of skin-folds and waist circumference in UK Army personnel. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Three hundred and ei...

Skin-fold Thickness and Race Performance in Male Mountain Ultra-marathoners

Recent studies showed in high level runners both an association between selected skin-fold thicknesses at the lower limb and running performance and between thickness of skin-fold and training. We investigated the association of skin-fold thicknesses with total race time in 25 male mountain ultra-marathoners with 44.5 (7.0) years, 73.0 (7.8) kg body mass, 1.78 (0.07) m body height and a BMI of ...

Skin fold resembling pneumothorax.

Skin folds and pneumothorax can often be confused on chest radiographs. We present the chest X-ray (Fig. 1 A) of a 71-yearold man with cancer who presented due to a deterioration in his general health status, where a skin fold was observed in the left hemithorax. Computed tomography (B) confirmed the absence of pneumothorax. The skin fold (A) appears as an interface (arrowhead) in the lung fiel...
