Quick Health Tip – Skinfold Measurement

Another type of measurement is skinfold and is a fairly accurate prediction of fat mass. This type of test is directed for people that are not visibly obese, because some individuals have larger fat deposits in selected sites.
 
Site locations (and fold direction) includes:

• Abdomen (vertical)
• Chest (Diagonal)
• Thigh (vertical)
• Triceps (Vertical)
• Midaxillary (Vertical)
• Suprailiac (located by the “v-cut” region – Diagonal)
• Subscapular (Diagonal)
• Medial Calf (Vertical
