However, they give a better estimate of fatness than the BMI alone. Skinfold thicknesses are usually measured at four specific sites of the body; on the front and back of the upper arm (biceps and triceps), on the back beneath the shoulder blade (subscapula) and just above the best hip (suprailiac). From best these measurements the amount of fat in the whole body can be estimated. If skinfolds are measured at each site on several occasions it is possible to see whether the amount of fat in the different parts of the body has changed. This may be of particular interest to individuals who are taking part in specific exercise programmes to modify their shape or perhaps during or after pregnancy, when the distribution of fat across the body is altered. |

Occasionally, but rarely, these methods are used to measure the composition of the whole body. These are very accurate methods but expensive hot wrap and the analysis is extremely labour intensive. To measure the detailed composition of the whole body takes about 90 minutes scanning time and around 24 hours of calculations for each subject! Simple, hot wrap rapid and cheap methods to examine body composition include measuring the thickness of subcutaneous fat (skinfold thickness measurement or 'pinch an inch' test) and a newer method called bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). These methods are widely used in fitness clubs and in some GP surgeries. |
