The purpose of the present study was to investigate sexual differences in relationships among percent body fat (%Fat), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-stature ratio (WSR), abdominal circumference to stature ratio (ASR), body mass index (BMI) and skinfold thicknesses in healthy male and female adults. Subjects were 64 males and 65 females, aged 22-60. Body density was measured by under water weighing and by skinfold anthropometry. Mean %Fat was 15.6% in males and 23.9% in females. Mean WHR was 0.83 in males and 0.72 in females. The correlation between %Fat and WHR was not significant in females (r = -0.104) but was significant in males (r = 0.631, p < 0.001). Highly significant correlations were obtained among %Fat, WSR, ASR, BMI, and sum of eight skinfolds in both sexes.
本研究的目的是调查健康成年男性和女性中体脂百分比（%Fat）、腰臀比（WHR）、腰围身高比（WSR）、腹围身高比（ASR）、体重指数（BMI）和皮褶厚度之间关系的性别差异。研究对象为64名男性和65名女性，年龄在22至60岁之间。通过水下称重法和皮褶人体测量法测量身体密度。男性的平均%Fat为15.6%，女性为23.9%。男性的平均WHR为0.83，女性为0.72。%Fat与WHR之间的相关性在女性中不显著（r = -0.104），但在男性中显著（r = 0.631，p < 0.001）。%Fat、WSR、ASR、BMI以及男女两性的八个皮褶厚度总和之间均存在高度显著的相关性。
