In a sample of healthy adults (24 men, 21 women; 54 to 85 years of age) anthropometry was collected and body density measured by underwater weighing. Estimates of body fat were computed from body density. The men were significantly larger than the women in body size and have significantly less percent body fat and less subcutaneous fat on their arms and legs. There were no sex differences in measures of subcutaneous fat on the trunk or in estimates of total body fat. Chest and abdominal circumferences were the measurements most highly correlated with total and percent body fat in the men. In the women, abdominal circumference and subscapular skinfolds were highly correlated with percent body fat, as were subscapular and midaxillary skinfold with total body fat.
在一个健康成年人样本（24名男性，21名女性；年龄在54至85岁之间）中，收集了人体测量数据，并通过水下称重法测量了身体密度。根据身体密度计算出身体脂肪含量。男性在体型上明显大于女性，且身体脂肪百分比显著较低，手臂和腿部的皮下脂肪也较少。躯干皮下脂肪测量值或全身脂肪估计值不存在性别差异。男性的胸围和腹围与全身脂肪及身体脂肪百分比的相关性最高。在女性中，腹围和肩胛下皮褶厚度与身体脂肪百分比高度相关，肩胛下和腋中皮褶厚度与全身脂肪也高度相关。
