Neonatal skinfold thickness. Measurement and interpretation at or near term.
Skinfold thickness was measured at five sites in 750 infants. The study population was unselected except that twin pregnancies and the infants of diabetic mothers were excluded, and very preterm infants were under represented. A pilot study had indicated that skinfold measurement was most reproducible at the thigh site. Thigh skinfold correlated better with the sum of other skinfolds than did s...
متن کاملSkinfold Thickness Measurement in Term Nigerian Neonates: Establishing Reference Values
Skin fold thickness (SFT) measurement is a reliable, cheap, simple, noninvasive method of body fat estimation at all ages including the neonatal period. Objective. To determine reference values of biceps, triceps, subscapular, and suprailiac skinfold thickness measurements in term Nigerian newborns. Method. A prospective cross-sectional study over a six-month period (Dec 2010-May 2011) was carr...
متن کاملSuprailiac or abdominal skinfold thickness measured with a skinfold caliper as a predictor of body density in Japanese adults.
Measurement of subcutaneous fat thickness with a skinfold caliper is a simple and inexpensive technique for assessment of body composition, but is influenced by the skin site or the obesity level. The resulting measurement errors may influence the prediction accuracy of body density. We therefore aimed to clarify the characteristics of measurement errors with a skinfold caliper and to determine...
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...
متن کاملMeasurement of triceps skinfold thickness. An investigation of sources of variation.
A measurement of the thickness of subcutaneous skinfolds has been widely used as an index of body fat. Edwards et al. (1955) investigated the design and accuracy of skinfold calipers and made a number of recommendations for their construction which were incorporated in the Harpenden skinfold calipers. They found that the precision of the Harpenden skinfold calipers was adequate and that the dif...
