Skin folds were measured on 12 different body sites of 32 boys, aged 9--12, by using the calipers of Best, Lange, Harpenden and Holtain successively. We compared the measurements of the biceps, triceps, scapula, suprailiaca, abdominal and thigh skin folds. The results depended on body sites as well as on the type of caliper used. Therefore, conversion is recommendable only when absolute values of body fat must be taken into consideration, as when investigating population parameters in terms of functional performance capacity. Moreover conversion is necessary when using those nomograms which are built up mainly by measurements with an unusual caliper. Conversions must be omitted when comparing data by means of rank-correlations.
我们使用贝斯特、兰格、哈彭登和霍尔坦卡尺，依次对32名年龄在9至12岁的男孩的12个不同身体部位进行皮肤褶皱测量。我们比较了二头肌、三头肌、肩胛骨、髂上、腹部和大腿皮肤褶皱的测量结果。结果取决于身体部位以及所使用的卡尺类型。因此，只有在必须考虑体脂绝对值时，如在根据功能表现能力研究总体参数时，才建议进行换算。此外，当使用主要通过使用特殊卡尺测量建立的那些列线图时，换算也是必要的。当通过等级相关性比较数据时，必须省略换算。
