采用商用高分辨率b超设备（7.5 mhz换能器）和Holtain皮襞卡尺测量26名年轻男性（18-32岁）在8个部位（肱二头肌、肱三头肌、肩胛下、腋窝、肋下、脐旁、股四头肌）的皮下脂肪厚度。本研究的目的是探讨超声与皮褶卡尺测量皮下脂肪和体密度之间的关系。超声与卡尺测量的相关性大于0.7。皮褶卡尺重复测量的可变性似乎比超声测量要低一些。利用所有可能的子集回归，对两种测量皮下脂肪厚度的技术选择最能预测体密度的多元回归方程。这两种技术的最佳方程解释了这一群体中80%的身体密度差异。这些结果表明，在年轻男性中，使用皮褶卡尺或超声技术可以以相同的精度估计身体脂肪，但对于实际皮下脂肪厚度的估计，超声是首选。
Subcutaneous fat thickness of 26 young males (aged 18-32 years) was measured at eight sites (biceps, triceps, subscapula, axillary, subcosta, paraumbilica, suprailiaca, quadriceps) using a commercial high-resolution B-scan ultrasound equipment with a 7.5-MHz transducer as well as a Holtain skinfold caliper. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between ultrasound and skinfold caliper measurements of subcutaneous fat and body density determined by the hydrostatic weighing technique. Correlations between ultrasound and caliper measurement were above 0.7. The variability of duplicate measurements with the skinfold caliper appeared to be somewhat lower than with ultrasound measurements. Using all possible subsets regression, for both techniques measuring subcutaneous fat thickness those multiple regression equations were chosen which predicted body density best. The best equations for the two techniques explained about 80 percent of the variance of body density in this group. These results indicate that in young men, body fat can be estimated with the same degree of accuracy using either the skinfold caliper or the ultrasound technique, but for estimates of actual subcutaneous fat thickness, ultrasound is to be preferred.
