Obesity increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and skinfold thickness are indicators of obesity.
The diagram shows how a skinfold thickness measurement is taken over the triceps muscle at the back of the arm.
Skinfold thickness measures the thickness of the layer of fat under the skin. Measurements are taken from several sites on the body. The table shows the skinfold thickness at four sites on a 42-year-old female.
The table shows a body fat interpretation chart.
The values in the table are the means of the four skinfold thickness measurements.
