AIMS To determine the suitability of n...

The need for revised standards for skinfold thickness in infancy.

Skinfold standards provide a useful indication of subcutaneous fat. To evaluate skinfold thickness of 252 Cambridge infants over the first 2 years of age, SD scores relative to the Tanner standards were calculated, taking account of skewness in the standards. Cambridge SD scores were low, varying according to age from -1.2 to -1.8 for triceps and -0.6 to -1.2 for subscapular skinfolds. The Tann...

The World Health Assembly endorsed this recommendation in 1994. The WHO Multicentre Growth R...
