Percent body fat content was also calculated from the girth measurements as advocated by McArdle et al. The mean of % body fat content with this ground squirrel method was 14.91 +/- 3.82% in young men and 24.30 +/- 3.35% in middle aged men. On comparison, the difference in percent body fat content calculated by both the methods was found to be significant in young ground squirrel men but not for middle aged men. The correlation, coefficient ground squirrel between girth method and skinfold method was 0.95 in case of young men and 0.90 for middle aged men. Therefore, we advocate that girth measurements can be used to determine percent body fat content, main advantage being simplicity of technique and requirement of inexpensive instruments for measurement.
