Measurements of the percentage of body fat (derived by underwater weighing), height, weight, and triceps skinfold thickness were determined for a volunteer sample of 214 children, 10--14 years old. The bivariate correlations, by sex, of percentage of body fat with five obesity indices are highest with the triceps skinfold and least with weight-height. Five sets of equations are presented for predicting percentage of body fat based on measurements of either height and weight, triceps skinfold, or height, weight, and triceps skinfold. Cumulative frequency distributions of the percentage of body fat (based on height, weight, and triceps skinfold) are shown by race and sex for a total community of 10- to 14-year olds.
对214名10至14岁儿童的志愿者样本进行了身体脂肪百分比(通过水下称重得出)、身高、体重和肱三头肌皮褶厚度的测量。按性别划分,身体脂肪百分比与五个肥胖指数的双变量相关性中,与肱三头肌皮褶的相关性最高,与身高体重的相关性最低。给出了五组方程,用于根据身高和体重、肱三头肌皮褶或身高、体重及肱三头肌皮褶的测量值来预测身体脂肪百分比。针对一个由10至14岁儿童组成的社区总体,按种族和性别展示了基于身高、体重和肱三头肌皮褶的身体脂肪百分比的累积频率分布。
