The percentiles (3,10,25,50,75,90 and 97) of the subscapular/triceps Index (SS/TR), obtained in a sample of 7286 subjects (3721 males and 3765 females) aged 5 to 20 years, were calculated. Median values of SS/TR are generally higher in females up to the age of 13 years approximately, and show a pattern of peripheral distribution of fat during all the period of study. In males, a pattern of central distribution of fat develops starting from age fourteen and becomes more central as age increases. Values obtained were higher than those reported in the literature at all ages and in both sexes. The results reported in this paper show that SS/TR is useful for assessing changes in the pattern of fat distribution during childhood and adolescence.
计算了7286名5至20岁受试者（3721名男性和3765名女性）样本中肩胛下/三头肌指数（SS/TR）的百分位数（3、10、25、50、75、90和97）。在13岁左右之前，女性的SS/TR中位数通常较高，并且在整个研究期间显示出脂肪外周分布的模式。在男性中，从14岁开始出现脂肪中心分布模式，并且随着年龄的增长变得更加向中心分布。在所有年龄和两性中获得的值均高于文献报道的值。本文报道的结果表明，SS/TR有助于评估儿童期和青春期脂肪分布模式的变化。
