-waist, maximum hip, and mid-thigh. Skinfold thicknesses, consistently taken on the right-hand side of the body , were measured with a Harpendon calliper (Baty International, Burgess Hill, United Kingdom ...
was measured by the ELISA. Body composition was evaluated using waist circumference, skinfold thickness and body impedance analysis. Results obtained by the ELISA were compared with EIA data. Results. Active ...
° [43, 44]. Skinfold thickness. Four skinfolds were considered to determine the participants’ somatotype: tricipital, subscapular, supra-iliac, and mid-calf [43–45]. Body Mass Index (BMI). The BMI’s ...
mothers should include better measures of body composition, such as dual-X-ray absorptiometry, to determine whether differences in weight are due to changes in lean or fat mass. Blood pressure ...
as the most reflective of body ‘ fatness ’ are the triceps and biceps, below the scapula, above the iliac crest, and the upper thigh. The tricep skinfold and the subscapular measurements are the most useful ...
