| Converted to a skinfold caliper reading, Wilfork's body fat would have been about 18 percent. |
| Some have suggested that the edema reaction, as determined by measuring the double skinfold thickness, provides a ready alternative. |
| Scapular and triceps skinfold thicknesses on the right side of the body were measured in triplicate using standard techniques. |
| Three skinfold thicknesses were measured in all patients according to standard procedures by means of a Lafayette caliper. |
| The BMI estimates total body fat, although it is less sensitive than using a skinfold caliper or other method to measure body fat indirectly. |
| Underwater weighing, skinfold thickness, bioelectrical impedance and near-infrared analysis are more precise means of assessing fatness. |
