Skinfold thickness, body circumferences and body density were measured in samples of 308 and 95 adult men ranging in age from 18-61 yr. Using the sample of 308 men, multiple regression equations were calculated to estimate body density using either the quadratic or log form of the sum of skinfolds, in combination with age, waist and forearm circumference. The multiple correlations for the equations exceeded 0.90 with SE of approximately .+-. 0.0073 g/ml. The regression equations were cross validated on the 2nd sample of 95 men. The correlations between predicted and laboratory-determined body density exceeded 0.90 with SE of approximately 0.0077 g/ml. The regression equations were valid for adult men varying in age and fatness.
