Anthropometry Evaluation

Calculation

abdominal fatfold (cm): abdominal circumference Abdominal fatfold (mm) / [abdominal circumference (cm) x 10]
abdominal radius (cm) Abdominal circumference (cm) / 2 x pi
average subcutaneous fat ½ fatfold (cm) ((Abdominal fatfold** + right side fatfold + back fatfold + left side fatfold) / 8) x 10
visceral radius (cm) Abdominal radius – average subcutaneous ½ fatfold
visceral r2: abdominal r2 Visceral radius / abdominal radius
total abdominal area (cm2) Pi x abdominal radius2
total visceral area (cm2) Pi x visceral radius2
