To test the accuracy of generalized skinfold (SF) equations in blacks and to compare fat
patterning in black and white adults, percent body fat (% BF) was assessed in 90 blacks and …

To assess the validity of skinfofd thickness estimates of body fatness in formerly morbid
obese adults, 23 patients (17 women, 6 men) who had completed a protein-sparing modified …

The purpose of this study is to compare the relation of skinfold thickness measures to body
density in Black and White young men. Body density determined by underwater weighing …

The purpose of this study was to compare seven skinfold equations with underwater
weighing (UWW) for estimating body fat in 39 African American [age: 22.8+/-3.6 y (x+/-SD); …

Background: Although skinfold-thickness equations are widely used to estimate body fat,
their accuracy in a biracial population of female adolescents has not been established …

Factors affecting body density and skin-fold measurements are analyzed in a population of
518 Canadian city dwellers. The distribution of skin-fold measurements shows significant …

Serum lipids, serum sugar and skinfold thickness at several sites were measured in healthy
male factory workers. Somatic index and relative weight were calculated. Serum triglyceride …

Because of the rapidity of measurement and the relative simplicity of interpretation, the
thickness of skinfolds serves as a useful indicator of fatness of individuals and of groups of …

Skinfold thickness, height, and weight measurements were recorded from 1964 through
1970 for more than 1,000 adult Eskimos who resided in the Central and Eastern Canadian …

Correlation coefficients among the various commonly used indices of body mass and
measures of skinfold thickness were calculated using 16,459 adult Black and white samples …
