The tremendous increase in the percentage of obese people in the older age group can be noted. This is definitely going to influence the morbidity and mortality. From the results of this study, it is not possible to conclude which of the two methods is more valid for the measurement of determine body fat. This can only be answered by following each measure with a direct chemical analysis. However, this method is impracticable for human subjects. The percent body fat calculated using skin-fold measurements along with Siri's equations is reported to have a precision of + 3.5%[11]. Our results show determine that girth method is comparable to skin-fold method, and therefore we feel that it can be recommended for regular use in our population. :: References 1.
