背景：测量小腿围用于评估肌肉减少症、营养状况、体脂百分比或肥胖。然而，还没有研究调查小腿围和小腿皮下脂肪组织厚度之间的关系。因此，本研究的目的是探讨非肥胖健康青年人小腿围、小腿肌肉厚度和小腿皮下脂肪组织厚度之间的关系。方法：研究参与者为非肥胖的22名女性（20.1 ± 0.8岁）和21名男性（20.0 ± 0.8岁）。在俯卧位使用卷尺通过视觉识别测量周长最大的点处测量右小腿周长。然后，用超声诊断设备测量小腿皮下脂肪组织和小腿肌肉的厚度。结果：女性小腿围与小腿肌肉厚度呈正相关（r= 0.58，P
BACKGROUND: Calf circumference is measured for assessing sarcopenia, nutrition status, percent body fat or obesity. However, there has been no study that investigated the relationship between calf circumference and calf subcutaneous fat tissue thickness. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between calf circumference, calf muscle thickness, and calf subcutaneous fat tissue thickness in non-obese healthy young adults. METHODS: The study participants were non-obese 22 women (20.1 +/- 0.8 years) and 21 men (20.0 +/- 0.8 years). The right calf circumference was measured in prone position at the point where the circumference was maximal by visual recognition using a measuring tape. Then, thickness of calf subcutaneous fat tissue and calf muscles were measured with an ultrasonic diagnostic equipment. RESULTS: There was a positive relationship between calf circumference and calf muscle thickness both in women (r=0.58, P
