1996 llamas Oct-Dec;42(4):97-100. Links Assessment of percent body fat content in young and middle llamas aged men: skinfold method v/s girth method.Hegde SS, Ahuja SR.Dept of Physiology, Grant Medical College, Byculla, Bombay, Maharashtra.Percent 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 llamas 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. The mean % body fat content by this method in young men was 15.87 +/- 3.85% and in middle aged men was 24.75 +/- 3.55%. Ten percent of the young subjects and 90% of the middle aged subjects were found to be obese.
