SKINFOLD THICKNESS ON THE DORSUM OF THE HAND IN THE ELDERLY

Age and Ageing, 1975
The skinfold thickness on the dorsum of the right hand over the second metacarpal was measured with Harpenden calipers in 276 women and 152 men aged 65 and over living at home. Mean values were higher in men than women and declined with age in both sexes.

MEASUREMENT OF SKINFOLD THICKNESS IN CHILDHOOD

Pediatrics, 1968
Standardized techniques for caliper measurement of skinfold thickness have been established during the past decade and investigators are accumulating data. The skinfold thickness appears to serve as an indicator of relative fatness in adults in whom correlations between this and other methods which estimate body fat have been obtained.

Skinfold Thickness in Assessment of Nutrition

Pediatrics, 1971
May I support the opinion expressed by Dr. Keet, et al.1 concerning the value of skinfold measurement in the assessment of nutritional status. Our own observations regarding detailed anthropometry on infants and children with advanced protein-calorie malnutrition are reported elsewhere.2,3 Triceps skinfold thickness in our cases of ...

Skinfold thickness measurements in obese subjects

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1990
To determine the accuracy of skinfold thickness measurements in body composition assessment, skinfold thicknesses, bioelectrical impedance, body density by underwater weighing, and total body water by deuterium dilution were determined in 105 healthy adults who varied widely in body fatness.

Measuring skinfold thickness—A cautionary note

Addictive Behaviors, 1977
Abstract Skinfold thickness measures of adipose tissue by constant-pressure calipers represent an important adjunct in the evaluation of weight reduction programs. The complexity of measuring skinfold thickness is contrasted with the simplicity of balance-bar weight.

CHANGES IN SKINFOLD THICKNESS WITH INCREASING AGE

Age and Ageing, 1981
Skinfold thickness measurements on 626 normal subjects of both sexes between the ages of 5 months and 73 years demonstrated a tri-phasic relationship between loss of skin thickness and age. Measurements for infants of either sex were indistinguishable and high, falling rapidly to levels which only changed slightly over the period 20-60 years ...

The effects of skinfold thickness on the selectivity of surface EMG

Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology - Evoked Potentials, 1994
We investigated the effects of skinfold thickness and electrode orientation on the ability to record selectively from a localized region of a muscle using arrays of surface electrodes. EMG activity elicited by electrical stimulation and by voluntary contraction of the biceps muscle was recorded from subjects with skinfold thicknesses ranging from 2 mm ...

Skinfold Thickness in Infancy in Relation to Birthweight

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1973
SUMMARYMeasurement of skinfold thickness of 200 infants were made at the biceps, triceps, subscapular and suprailiac sites at the ages of one month, three months, six months, nine months and 12 months. The results show that between one and three months boys with birthweights below 3.2kg have a significantly greater increase in skinfold thickness at the

Effect of Skinfold Thickness on Transcutaneous Bilirubin Measurements

Biology of the Neonate, 2009
We studied the effect of skinfold thickness on the correlation between serum total bilirubin level and transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) readings. Skinfold thickness measurements were taken at 1–4 h of age. Serum total bilirubin levels and TcB readings were obtained at 1–4 (first) and 44–56 h of age (discharge).
