Determination of body composition from skinfold thickness: a validation study.
Measurement of body composition is proving increasingly important in clinical nutrition and research. Skinfold thickness is a simple means of estimating body composition which is widely used in children, but there is little information on its validity. There has been a proliferation of equations for estimation of body composition from skinfolds, but some doubt as to their general applicability....
متن کاملDetermination of body composition of children from skinfold measurements.
Brook, C. G. D. (1971). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 46, 182. Determination of body composition of children from skinfold measurements. Total body water was measured in 23 children aged 1 to 11 years and correlated with estimates of lean body mass derived from measurements of skinfold thickness. The correlation coefficient was 0 * 98. Skinfold thickness can, therefore, be used to estimate ...
متن کاملBody composition and prediction equations using skinfold thickness for body fat percentage in Southern Brazilian adolescents
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to: a) determine the nutritional status of Brazilian adolescents, and; b) present a skinfold thickness model (ST) to estimate body fat developed with Brazilian samples, using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as reference method. METHODS The main study group was composed of 374 adolescents, and further 42 adolescents for the validation group. Weig...
متن کاملNuchal Skinfold Thickness: A Novel Parameter for Assessment of Body Composition in Childhood Craniopharyngioma
CONTEXT Hypothalamic obesity, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and relapse/progression have a major impact on prognosis in childhood-onset craniopharyngioma (CP). We analyzed nuchal skinfold thickness (NST) on magnetic resonance imaging performed for follow-up monitoring as a novel parameter for body composition (BC) and CVD in CP. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to identify the associa...
متن کاملAccuracy of a digital skinfold system for measuring skinfold thickness and estimating body fat.
The use of skinfold thickness measurements to evaluate the distribution of subcutaneous adipose tissue and to predict body fat has recognised advantages. However, the different types of skinfold calliper available present limitations that make them unattractive and perhaps less used in daily practice. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy and functionality of a new digit...
