In Reply: Skinfold Thickness

Pediatrics, 1982
We appreciate the critical eyes of Swyer and associates for the detection of our error in units of measurement. On review of our original data (Pediatrics 68:82, 1981), we found that rate of change in skinfold thickness should have been expressed in millimeters per week instead of millimeters per day.

SKIN THICKNESS AND SKINFOLD THICKNESS IN ANOREXIA NERVOSA

British Journal of Dermatology, 1971
SUMMARY.— Skin thickness measured radiographically and skinfold thickness measured by callipers were determined in 6 patients with anorexia nervosa before treatment and after restoration of body weight. Pre-treatment skin thickness measurements fell at the lower limit of normal or actually below this.

The skinfold thickness in preterm infants

Early Human Development, 1993
The development of the subscapular, triceps and abdominal (suprailiac) skinfolds was studied in 120 healthy preterm infants with a birth weight below 2500 g at the age of 2 weeks, 1 month and 2 months. The skinfolds developed with the age of the infants, no gestational age related differences being noted.

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.

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.

Influence of skinfold thickness on heparin absorption

The Lancet, 1991
The absorption of high and low molecular fractions of heparin from the subcutaneous compartment was evaluated in eight healthy males. They were given an intravenous infusion of 4000 U calcium heparin in 4 hours and on another occasion a subcutaneous injection of 12,500 U calcium heparin (washout period of 1 week).

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.

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 ...

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 ...
