Estimation of body fat from skinfold thickness

Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 2001
The fat content of the human body has physiological and medical importance. It may influence morbidity and mortality, it may affect the ability to withstand exposure to cold and starvation, and it may alter the effectiveness of drugs and anaesthetics. It may also be the cause of reduced insulin sensitivity in some population groups.

Measurement of dermal thickness with the harpenden skinfold caliper

Archives for Dermatological Research, 1976
A simple method of determining skin thickness using the Harpenden Skinfold Caliper is described. Using this technique the atrophy caused by the topical application of Fluocinolone acetonide in normal volunteers has been detected. As a comparison the skin thickness was also measured in the same individuals by an established x-ray technique. Not only was

Skinfold Thickness and Adiposity Index in Premature Infants

Biology of the Neonate, 2009
In order to assess the validity of the weight per square of length ratio as an index of adiposity during the neonatal period, 37 premature infants (gestational age, mean ± SD, = 31.5 ± 1.1 weeks, birthweight, mean ± SD, =1.448 ± 147 g) were studied for weight, length and skinfold thickness at 5 sites (biceps, triceps, subscapular, suprailiac and ...

[Skinfold thickness in a group of Roman schoolchildren].

Minerva pediatrica, 1990
Triceps, biceps, subscapular and supra-iliac skinfold measurements were taken on 871 children, aged 7-14, in three Roman schools. Girls have larger skinfolds than boys; the values at every site increase with age. Boys present an increase in skinfold measurements until 11 years, then a decrease, more marked at 14 years.

Influence of Skinfold Thickness in Mechanomyography Features

2013
The assessment and physiological register of muscular tissue can be done through mechanomyography (MMG). The oscillation of muscular displacement is acquired on the skin surface, insomuch that the skinfold thickness can influence in MMG response. The aim of this study is verify the influence of different skinfold thickness on MMG features responses ...
