Book Description
The purpose of this investigation was to develop multiple regression equations to predict body density in prepubescent males using the Harpenden, Lange, and Fat-0-Mate%- skinfold calipers. The subjects were 59 males aged 7-11 years (y = 9.3 +/- 1.2), body weight of 34.5 kg (28.4), height of 139.9 cm (210.5) and body density of 1.0506 gm/cc (t.0128). Variables assessed included 12 skinfold sites, 8 body circumferences, 7 body diameters, residual volume (via closed circuit oxygen dilution) and the Jensen modification of hydrostatic weighing. Independent variables for each caliper were anterior thigh, triceps and abdominal skinfolds (Harpenden): anterior thigh, biceps and abdominal skinfolds (Lange) I and anterior thigh, biceps, calf and abdominal skinfolds (Fat-0-Meter) with multiple R's of .93, .93 and.-94 respectively (all (all p
