Effects of skin thickness and skinfold compressibility on skinfold thickness measurement
American Journal of Human Biology, 1992 AbstractVariability in both skin thickness and skinfold compressibility affects the relationship between the skinfold caliper reading at a particular site on the body and the actual adipose thickness at that site, thus inducing error in the estimation of body fatness.

Skinfold Thickness Distribution in Recreational Marathon Runners [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020 The relationship of body fat (BF) percentage with performance of elite marathon runners has been well studied; however, less information is available about the variation of skinfold thickness by sex and performance in non-elite marathon runners. The aim of the present study was to examine the variation of skinfold thickness by sex and performance in ...

Accuracy of a digital skinfold system for measuring skinfold thickness and estimating body fat [PDF]
British Journal of Nutrition, 2010 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.
