目的：从一些简单的人体测量中建立方程，用于预测西班牙男性儿童和青少年水下称重的身体密度。受试者：175名男性，年龄7.0-16.9 岁，参加了这项研究，他们来自小学和中学。测量：体重和身高以及皮褶厚度通过人体测量，身体密度通过水下称重。结果：14.0-16.9岁时，体重指数（BMI）与体重密度的相关性较高 .在所有年龄段，身体密度与log Δ4皮褶厚度的相关性均高于与BMI的相关性。 Log 104皮褶厚度解释了61%（14.0-16.9岁）和68%（11.0-13.9岁）的身体密度方差。 体重指数和三头肌皮褶厚度的回归方程解释了51%（14.0-16.9岁）和68%（7.0-10.9岁）的身体密度方差。结论：儿童和青少年身体密度的最佳估计值是log 104皮褶厚度和体重指数和三头肌皮褶厚度的组合。赞助：萨拉戈萨大学
Objective: To develop equations, from some simple anthropometric measurements, for the prediction of body density from underwater weighing in male spanish children and adolescents.Subjects: One hundred and seventy-five males, aged 7.0–16.9 y, participated in this study, they were recruited from primary and secondary schools.Measurements: Body weight and height and skinfold thicknesses by anthropometry, body density by underwater weighing.Results: Correlations between body density and body mass index (BMI) were high until 14.0–16.9 y. Correlations between body density and log Σ 4 skinfolds were higher than those with BMI at all ages. Log Σ 4 skinfolds explained between 61% (14.0–16.9 y) and 68% (11.0–13.9 y) of the body density variance. Regression equations for body density from BMI and triceps skinfold thickness explained between 51% (14.0–16.9 y) and 68% (7.0–10.9 y) of the body density variance.Conclusions: The best estimators of body density in the children and adolescents studied were log Σ 4 skinfolds and a combination of BMI and triceps skinfold.Sponsorship: Universidad de Zaragoza
