Total body water was measured in 23 children aged 1 to 11 years and correlated with estimates of lean body mass derived from measurements of skinfold thickness. The correlation coefficient was 0·98. Skinfold thickness can, therefore, be used to estimate lean body mass, and thus total body fat, in young children for whom other techniques for the measurement of body composition cannot easily be used.
对23名年龄在1至11岁的儿童测量了全身水含量,并将其与通过皮褶厚度测量得出的瘦体重估计值进行关联。相关系数为0.98。因此,皮褶厚度可用于估计幼儿的瘦体重,进而估计全身脂肪,因为对于幼儿而言,其他测量身体成分的技术不易使用。
