Ultrasonic and skinfold caliper measures of subcutaneous adipose tissue were taken in a sample of elderly men and women, 65 to 99 years of age with an A-mode Ithaco Body Composition Meter and a Holtain skinfold caliper. For most of the measurements, standard deviations for the ultrasonic measurements were three or more times larger than corresponding caliper measurements. Also, mean absolute interobserver errors for the ultrasonic measurements were considerably larger than those for skinfold calipers. At best, the interobserver reliability for the ultrasound machine was 68% while the poorest reliability for the skinfold caliper was 88%. In the form tested, the Ithaco Body Composition Meter is not as accurate for measuring subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness in the elderly as a Holtain skinfold caliper.
使用伊萨科 A 型人体成分测量仪和霍尔坦皮褶厚度仪，对 65 至 99 岁的老年男性和女性样本进行了皮下脂肪组织的超声和皮褶厚度测量。对于大多数测量，超声测量的标准差比相应的皮褶厚度测量大三倍或更多。此外，超声测量的平均绝对观察者间误差比皮褶厚度仪的误差大得多。超声仪的观察者间可靠性最高为 68%，而皮褶厚度仪的最差可靠性为 88%。在所测试的形式中，伊萨科人体成分测量仪在测量老年人皮下脂肪组织厚度方面不如霍尔坦皮褶厚度仪准确。
