On 27 men and 6 women, total body density and 10 skinfolds were measured 12 yr apart, with the mean age increasing from 31 to 43 yr. The increase in skinfold thickness was found to be related to the increase in total body adiposity, calculated from hydrostatic weighing. The external adipose tissue was calculated from the mean skinfold thickness and body surface area. Variations in total adiposity among the population studied as well as changes in total adiposity with age showed a characteristic distribution with approximately two-thirds on the surface and one-third in the interior. The essential body mass or total adipose mass determined by hydrostatic weighing was compared with the values obtained by water-immersion volumetry, total body potassium counting, and skinfold measurements. Teh volumetric and skinfold determinations gave better estimates of these parameters than total body potassium counting.
对27名男性和6名女性在相隔12年的时间里测量了全身密度和10处皮褶厚度，平均年龄从31岁增长到43岁。发现皮褶厚度的增加与通过水下称重计算得出的全身肥胖程度的增加有关。外部脂肪组织由平均皮褶厚度和体表面积计算得出。在所研究的人群中，全身肥胖程度的变化以及全身肥胖程度随年龄的变化呈现出一种特征性分布，大约三分之二在体表，三分之一在体内。将通过水下称重确定的瘦体重或总脂肪量与通过水浸体积测量法、全身钾计数法和皮褶测量法获得的值进行了比较。体积测量法和皮褶测量法对这些参数的估计比全身钾计数法更好。
