PAPERS Year : 1996 | Volume : 42 | Issue : 4 | Page : 97-100 fattrack Assessment of percent body fat content in young and middle aged fattrack men: skinfold method v/s girth method. Hegde SS, Ahuja SR Dept of Physiology, Grant Medical College, Byculla, Bombay, Maharashtra. Correspondence Address:Dept of Physiology, Grant fattrack Medical College, Byculla, Bombay, Maharashtra. :: AbstractPercent body fat content was found in apparently normal healthy 30 young (17-20 Yrs.) and 30 middle aged men (30-46 Yrs.) by measuring the skinfold and girth. None of the subjects were athletes or did regular physical exercise. Body density was calculated using mean of the four skinfold measurements as per the equations advocated by Durnin and Womersley, while percent body fat content was calculated from the body density by the Siri's equation.
