Sensitivity and specificity of body mass index and skinfold thicknesses in detecting excess adiposity in children aged 8-12 years.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE The study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity (SN) and specificity (SP) of body mass index (BMI) and skinfold thicknesses in detecting excess adiposity in children. RESEARCH DESIGN Cross-sectional. MATERIALS AND METHODS 986 children (500 females and 486 males) aged 10 +/- 1 years (mean +/- SD; range: 8-12 years) were studied. All underwent anthropometric measurements and bio...
متن کاملChanges in Skinfold Thicknesses and Body Fat in Ultra-endurance Cyclists
PURPOSE The present study investigated the changes in single skinfold thicknesses and body fat during an ultra-endurance cycling race. METHODS One hundred and nineteen ultra-endurance cyclists in the 'Swiss Cycling Marathon' covering a distance of 600 km were included. Changes in skinfold thickness, fat mass, skeletal muscle mass and total body water were estimated using anthropometric method...
متن کاملReference curves for triceps and subscapular skinfold thicknesses in US children and adolescents.
BACKGROUND Skinfold thicknesses have long been considered important and valid measurements of subcutaneous fat. Nevertheless, there are no current skinfold reference data for US children and adolescents. OBJECTIVE We developed new percentile reference curves for triceps and subscapular skinfold thicknesses by using the same national samples as those included in the reference curves for body m...
متن کاملRelationships between Neonatal Weight, Limb Lengths, Skinfold Thicknesses, Body Breadths and Circumferences in an Australian Cohort
BACKGROUND Low birth weight has been consistently associated with adult chronic disease risk. The thrifty phenotype hypothesis assumes that reduced fetal growth impacts some organs more than others. However, it remains unclear how birth weight relates to different body components, such as circumferences, adiposity, body segment lengths and limb proportions. We hypothesized that these components...
متن کاملBody density estimates from upper-body skinfold thicknesses compared to air-displacement plethysmography.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Determine the accuracy of body density (Db) estimated with upper-body skinfold thickness (SFT) measurements compared to air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) and ascertain whether body mass index (BMI) impacts the accuracy of SFT to assess Db. METHODS We estimated Db with SFT and ADP in 131 healthy men and women with normal (N; 18.5-24.9kg/m(2)), overweight (OW; 25-29.9kg/m...
