Suprailiac 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 کاملDetermination 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 کاملTriceps Skinfold as a Prognostic Predictor in Outpatient Heart Failure
BACKGROUND Most reports regarding the obesity paradox have focused on body mass index (BMI) to classify obesity and the prognostic values of other indirect measurements of body composition remain poorly examined in heart failure (HF). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between BMI and other indirect, but easily accessible, body composition measurements associated with the risk of all-cause...
متن کاملPrediction 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...
