比较了三种测量皮下脂肪厚度的方法，并确定了它们在年轻人中的相关性。受试者包括21名男性和21名女性，年龄18-24岁。采用皮褶卡尺、A型和B型超声测量上臂前后皮下脂肪层厚度，每种方案在30 min内以随机旋转顺序独立给药。根据测量部位和受试者性别，观察到方案之间的显著差异（p<0.05）。在男性的前部和后部，B模式和减半皮褶相似，但明显低于A模式测量。在女性的前部，A模式和皮褶相似，但明显大于B模式测量。在女性的后部，所有三个测量值都相似。协议之间的相关性是积极的，男性的水平范围从0.59到0.74，而女性的水平从0.39到0.89。得出的结论是，虽然皮褶卡尺，A型超声，B型超声可用于获得适度相关的测量上臂皮下脂肪厚度的年轻人，三个协议产生不一致的相似数据。
Three protocols for measuring subcutaneous fat thickness were compared and their level of association determined in young adults. Subjects included 21 men and 21 women, 18–24 years of age. Skinfold calipers, A- and B-mode ultrasound were used to measure the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer overlying the anterior and posterior aspects of the upper arm. Each protocol was independently administered within a 30-min block of time in a randomly rotated sequence. Significant differences (p<0.05) between protocols were observed depending upon site of measurement and gender of the subject. At both the anterior and posterior sites for men, B-mode and halved skinfold were similar but significantly less than A-mode measurements. At the anterior site for women, A-mode and skinfold were similar but significantly greater than B-mode measurements. At the posterior site for women, all three measurements were similar. Correlations between the protocols were positive with men's levels ranging from 0.59 to 0.74, while women's levels were from 0.39 to 0.89. It was concluded that although skinfold calipers, A-mode ultrasound, and B-mode ultrasound may be used to obtain moderately associated measurements of upper-arm subcutaneous fat thickness in young adults, the three protocols yield inconsistently similar data.
