统计分析了美国西北部铁路雇佣的40 - 59岁的白人男性久坐职员（N = 854）和开关工（N = 832）的皮褶厚度测量值。给出了5岁年龄组子样本的皮褶值分布。没有发现一致的年龄趋势。比较两组运动量不同的职业表明，一般来说，久坐不动的职员比活跃的开关工更胖。在40-59岁年龄组中，第10、25、50、75、90和95百分位的手臂加肩胛骨下皮褶为18.5、26.0、32.5、40.5、49.5和57.5毫米，开关工为16.5、23.0、31.0、39.0、47.0和52.5毫米，四舍五入到最接近0.5毫米。在给定的相对体重水平下，两个职业组之间的中位皮褶差异变得更加明显。
Statistical analysis was carried out on measurements of skinfold thick-ness obtained from white male sedentary clerks (N = 854) and switchmen (N = 832) aged 40 to 59 years, employed by railroads in the Northwestern section of the United States. The distributions of the skinfold values of the subsamples were presented for 5-year age groups. No consistent age trends were discovered. Comparisons of the 2 occupational groups differing in the amount of physical activity indicates that, in general, sedentary clerks are fatter than the more active switchmen. Rounded to the nearest 0.5 mm in the combined age group 40-59 years, the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, and 95th centiles for the arm plus sub-scapular skinfold are 18.5, 26.0, 32.5, 40.5, 49.5, and 57.5 mm for the clerks and 16.5, 23.0, 31.0, 39.0, 47.0, and 52.5 mm for the switchmen. The differences in median skinfold become more marked when the 2 occupational groups are compared with each other at given levels of relative body weight.
