| Abstract: | Assessment of body fat is an important measure of the nutritional status as it is directly related to obesity and other health related diseases. Skinfolds are often used method for (%) body fat measurements. Many times it is found to be difficult compared to Girth measurement technique. So, this study was conducted to find correlation between both the techniques and also using different equations for skinfold calipers. 30 Participants were evaluated for Body fat % with skinfold caliper and inelastic tape measure. All the measurements were taken on the right side of body with the subject standing upright. Average of two measurements was taken for analysis. Significant Positive correlation was found for Girth measurement and skinfold technique. Being a quick and easy administered method, Girth measurement technique can be used for assessment of body fat like skinfolds. |
