Triceps skinfold compressibility in hospitalized patients
OBJECTIVE To explore triceps skinfold (TSF) compressibility and its associated factors among hospitalized patients. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among hospitalized adult patients. Evolution of tissue compressibility during two seconds was registered and 120 TSF values were obtained using a digital calliper. Compressibility was determined according to the difference between th...

متن کاملTriceps skinfold thickness centile charts in primary school children in Shiraz, Iran.
Triceps skinfold thickness charts of a random sample of 2,234 healthy school children (1,161 boys and 1,073 girls) in Shiraz, Iran are presented. Triceps skinfold thickness increases by age and is higher in girls than boys, except for upper extreme centiles. Triceps skinfold thickness may be used with reasonable success to detect childhood obesity, which would be of great importance in public h...
متن کاملBody mass index and triceps skinfold thickness in prepubertal children in Slovenia.
The main aim of this study was to analyze overweight and obesity in children on the basis of body mass index (BMI) and triceps skinfold thickness (TSF). The sample included 5613 children, aged 6 to12 years (X = 9.23; SD = 1.69) from Slovenia. Children were classified as non-overweight, overweight and obese according to age and sex specific BMI cut-off points. The results show that 18.3% of boys...
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...
