Introduction: The use of reliable, valid and precise skinfold calipers are key for an adequate anthropometric evaluation and corporal composition analysis. Objective: To compare five models of skinfold calipers -Prime Vision (PV); Harpenden (HP); Sanny (SN); Cescorf (CE); Lange (LA)-. Materials and methods:Thirty-five men (age = 21.5 ± 2.7 y; body mass 72.2 ± 8.0 kg; height 1.76 ± 0.06 m) were recruited and skinfolds (i.e.,triceps, biceps, subscapular, pectoral, mid-axillary, suprailiac, abdominal, mid-tight, mid-calf) were measured. Four body fat predictive equations (Durnin y Wimberley; Pollock 3DC; Pollock 7DC; Petroski) were used. Normality assumption for all data was verified with the Shapiro-Wilk test. Predicted body density and fat were compared between skinfold calipers using a two-way ANOVA, with Scheffe post hoc procedures. The αlevel was set at p ≤ 0.05 for statistical significance. Results: No significant differences were observed between skinfold calipers for predicted body density or body fat. Conclusion: Skinfold calipers compared in this study are precise and efficient to quantify and assess body density and body fat.
使用可靠、有效且精确的皮褶厚度计是进行充分人体测量评估和身体成分分析的关键。目的：比较五种皮褶厚度计型号——Prime Vision（PV）；Harpenden（HP）；Sanny（SN）；Cescorf（CE）；Lange（LA）。材料与方法：招募了35名男性（年龄 = 21.5 ± 2.7岁；体重72.2 ± 8.0千克；身高1.76 ± 0.06米），并测量了皮褶厚度（即三头肌、二头肌、肩胛下、胸肌、腋中、髂上、腹部、小腿中部、小腿肚中部）。使用了四个体脂预测方程（杜宁和温伯利；波洛克3DC；波洛克7DC；彼得罗斯基）。所有数据的正态性假设通过夏皮罗-威尔克检验进行验证。使用双向方差分析比较皮褶厚度计之间预测的身体密度和脂肪，并采用谢费事后检验程序。显著性水平设定为p≤0.05具有统计学意义。结果：在预测的身体密度或体脂方面，皮褶厚度计之间未观察到显著差异。结论：本研究中比较的皮褶厚度计在量化和评估身体密度及体脂方面精确且有效。
