Use of a 3 mm skin-biopsy punch results in skin plus an additional core of subcutaneous fat which is adequate for gas chromatographic analysis of fatty acids. This technique is quicker, cheaper and less traumatic than other methods of fat biopsy and is recommended for population surveys of diet where the pattern of fat intake is being investigated. It has been used in a survey for cardiovascular risk factors on some 3 000 subjects and has proved to be safe and acceptable.
使用3毫米皮肤活检打孔器获取的样本包含皮肤及额外的皮下脂肪核心，足以用于脂肪酸的气相色谱分析。该技术比其他脂肪活检方法更快、更便宜且创伤更小，推荐用于调查脂肪摄入模式的饮食人群研究。它已被用于一项针对约3000名受试者的心血管危险因素调查，并已证明是安全且可接受的。
