Holtain skinfold calipers are marked with 0.2 mm gradation, and Lange calipers with 0.5 mm gradation. [3] [4] The measurement is taken with the person standing upright, with arms hanging down loosely. The skin fold is pulled away from the muscle and measured with the calipers, taking a reading 4 seconds after the calipers have been released.
Because most anthropometric formulas such as the Durnin-Womersley skinfold method, [18] the Jackson-Pollock skinfold method, and the US Navy circumference method, actually estimate body density, not body fat percentage, the body fat percentage is obtained by applying a second formula, such as the Siri or Brozek described in the above section on ...
The Monk Skin Tone Scale is an open-source, 10-shade scale describing human skin color, developed by Ellis Monk in partnership with Google and released in 2023. [1]

Caliper measurements of skinfold thickness is recommended to quantify fat loss as a supportive information. [7] In this measurement, skinfold thickness of less than 10 millimetres (0.39 in) for men and 22 millimetres (0.87 in) for women at the anterior thigh is suggestive cutoff for the diagnosis of lipodystrophy.
