对962名美国和827名日本男性电话公司高管进行心血管疾病危险因素的横断面研究，以确定皮褶厚度测量（腹部、肩胛下、肱三头肌、尺骨）与血压、血糖、血清胆固醇和血清甘油三酯的相关性。这些关联在每组高管中进行了评估，并在各组之间进行了比较。在单变量回归中，大多数皮褶显示与危险因素相关。在调整年龄和体重指数后，两组的腹部皮褶仍然与血压和甘油三酯显著相关，而肩胛下皮褶仅与甘油三酯相关。调整后，外周皮褶显示与美国男性的风险因素无关，然而，在日本男性尺骨皮褶继续与血压相关。这些发现表明，腹部和尺骨皮褶厚度测量可能有助于在流行病学研究中调整肥胖对冠心病风险的影响。
Data from a cross-sectional study of cardiovascular disease risk factors in 962 US and 827 Japanese male telephone company executives were used to determine the associations of skinfold thickness measurements (abdominal, subscapular, triceps, ulnar) with blood pressure, blood glucose, serum cholesterol, and serum triglycerides. These associations were assessed within each group of executives and were compared between the groups. Most skinfolds showed association with risk factors in univariate regression. After adjusting for age and body mass index, the abdominal skinfold continued to be significantly associated with blood pressure and triglycerides in both groups, while the subscapular skinfold showed associations only with triglycerides. After adjustment, the peripheral skinfolds showed no association with risk factors in the US men, however, in the Japanese men the ulnar skinfold continued to be associated with blood pressure. These findings suggest that abdominal and ulnar skinfold measurement may be useful in adjusting for the effect of obesity on coronary heart disease risk in epidemiological studies.
