Prediction of adiposity in adults from anthropometric measurements (arm and trunk skinfolds, weight/height) made during childhood and adolescence was assessed in a two-decade follow-up study. Weight/height showed the best correlation between childhood and adulthood values in both sexes. The child-adult correlations for skinfolds were better in males than in females and their value varied according to body site. In males, trunk skinfolds showed slightly better correlations than arm sites, and the weakest correlations were observed for the biceps. In females arm skinfolds, especially the biceps, showed a better predictive value than trunk skinfolds for which the child-adult correlation was almost nil. Trunk skinfolds, which are more often associated with metabolic complications of obesity than limb skinfolds, are predictable from childhood measurements in males and not in females. The prediction of adiposity development in different body sites may help identify children most susceptible to various pathologies in later life.
在一项为期二十年的随访研究中，评估了根据儿童期和青春期进行的人体测量（手臂和躯干皮褶厚度、体重/身高）来预测成年人肥胖程度的情况。体重/身高在两性的儿童期和成年期数值之间显示出最佳相关性。皮褶厚度的儿童期与成年期相关性在男性中比在女性中更好，并且其数值因身体部位而异。在男性中，躯干皮褶厚度的相关性略优于手臂部位，而肱二头肌的相关性最弱。在女性中，手臂皮褶厚度，尤其是肱二头肌，对于成年期的预测价值比躯干皮褶厚度更好，而躯干皮褶厚度的儿童期与成年期相关性几乎为零。与肢体皮褶相比，更常与肥胖代谢并发症相关的躯干皮褶厚度，在男性中可根据儿童期测量进行预测，而在女性中则不然。不同身体部位肥胖程度发展的预测可能有助于识别在晚年最易患各种疾病的儿童。
