Prediction of body density from skinfold measurements in lactating women.
Regression equations predicting body density from skinfold measurements were derived for a group of lactating women. It was concluded that specific equations for lactation were not necessary, since the resultant equations were not significantly different from those published for non-lactating women. The ability to predict an individual's body density from skinfold thickness measurements was uns...
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 fat assessed from total body density and its estimation from skinfold thickness: measurements on 481 men and women aged from 16 to 72 years.
I. Skinfold thicknesses at four sites biceps, triceps, subscapular and supra-iliac and total body density (by underwater weighing) were measured on 209 males and 272 females aged from 16 to 72 years. The fat content varied from 5 to 50 % of body-weight in the men and from 10 to 61 % in the women. 2. When the results were plotted it was found necessary to use the logarithm of skinfold measuremen...
متن کاملA field tool for prediction of body fat in Sri Lankan women: skinfold thickness equation
BACKGROUND Valid skinfold thickness (SFT) equations for the prediction of body fat are currently unavailable for South Asian women and would be a potentially robust field tool. Our aim was to assess the validity of existing SFT equations against deuterium (2H2O) dilution and, if invalid, to develop and validate an SFT equation for % fat mass (%FM) in Sri Lankan women. METHODS H2O dilution was...
متن کاملAssessment of total body fat in infancy from skinfold thickness measurements.
A formula is given, allowing a value for total body fat to be calculated from skinfold thickness measurements at two sites (subscapular and triceps), in conjunction with nine body dimensions. For newborn infants total body fat so calculated accorded satisfactorily with published data from cadaver analyses. The formula has been tentatively applied to infants up to the age of 40 weeks, and to pre...
