Abstract:

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. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy and functionality of a new digital skinfold system, the Liposoft 2008+Adipsmeter V0 (LA), for measuring skinfold thickness and determining body fat proportion (%BF). Skinfold thickness measurements made by the LA were compared with tho

An attempt was made to use anal skinfold thickness as a quantitative measurement to estimate body fatness in Boran cattle (Bos indicus). Using the normal single-operator technique the relationship between skinfold thickness and the other measurements was poor but was greatly improved by using two operators. It nevertheless remained inferior to body condition score, which was very highly correlated with estimated body fat proportion, It was concluded that condition scoringprovides a valuable index of the nutritional status of Bos indicus cattle, and that measurements of anal fold thickness are

According to their maturation level, they were divided into a prepubertal, a pubertal and a post-pubertal group. In each maturation group boys were older, had higher body-weights and body heights, higher body densities, lower percentage body fat, higher waist:hips ratios and higher trunk:total skinfolds ratios than girls.

Abstract Objectives Both body fat and lean body mass have important roles in health and wellbeing. It is crucial that researchers and clinicians can accurately measure them, especially in nutritionally vulnerable populations such as people living in rural areas of Ethiopia. Skinfold thickness measurements are one of the few methods to measure % body fat outside of a clinical setting. The validity of the measurements is dependent upon age, sex, and ethnicity. The existing skinfold thickness equations are derived from populations of European descent. This study will demonstrate that existing equ

The cube of (body weight x skinfold thickness) was the best predictor in males (r*2=0.75).

Abstract:

Anthropometric assessment during pregnancy is a widely used, low-technology procedure that has not been rigorously evaluated. Our objective is to investigate fat mass distribution during pregnancy by examining changes in anthropometrics measures, in order to evaluate the reliability of these measures. An observational, longitudinal, prospective cohort study was performed in 208 pregnant women. Anthropometric measurements were taken following the ISAK protocol during the three trimesters and a generalized linear model for repeated measures was used to evaluate differences. Variability was asses

This study analyzed the effects of a 10-wk resistance training program on body composition in 11 elderly women (68.91 ± 5.43 yrs). A control group of 8 women (65.13 ± 4.09 yrs) served as inactive control. The body fat percentage (skinfold thickness and bioelectrical impedance), body-circumference measurements and sum of skinfolds were assessed before and after 10 weeks. Food intake was assessed immediately before week 0 and week 10, from 3-day diet records (energy, protein, carbohydrate and fat). After initial tests, the subjects began a training program consisting of eight exercises for the w

Abstract:

Introduction: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can be used to monitor the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in any given superficial tissue. However, the measurements provided by different oximeters can vary a lot. Little is known about the specific patient characteristics that could affect the inter-device agreement of tissular oximeters. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the quantity of subcutaneous fat (assessed by skinfold thickness) and the inter-device agreement of two tissue oximeters, the INVOS 5100c and the Equanox 7600.

The purpose of this study was classified in two aspects: (1) evaluating seasonal changes in body composition of an elite male soccer team; (2) comparing body fat estimates of two different skinfold thickness equations (Jackson-Pollock (JP), Withers) to those of multifrequency bioimpedance (BIMP) among soccer players. Skinfold thickness (7-site) and BIMP measurements were done to 24 players from the same team at 5 different time points throughout the season of 2016-2017.

Hydrodensitometry (HD), skinfold thickness measurements (SK), and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were compared for estimating percent body fat (%BF) in youth competitive swimmers. Agreement was assessed using Bland-Altman plots and linear regression of the differences between methods compared to method means. Limits of agreement between the three techniques were large. Hydrodensitometry and SK demonstrated no difference in precision. Variance was observed between DXA and the other two techniques, with DXA demonstrating a wider distribution of measurement scores than HD or SK. These met
