Familial resemblance in fatness indicators.

Annals of human biology - 1 Jan 2000

Savard R, Bouchard C, Leblanc C, Tremblay A

Abstract excerpt

Family resemblance in fatness has been studied in 481 individuals from 114 families of French descent living in the greater Quebec city area. Subjects were measured for the following fatness indicators: triceps, biceps, subscapular, suprailiac, abdominal and medial calf skinfolds. The sum of these six skinfolds as well as a prediction of percent body fat (Durnin and Rahaman 1967) were also considered. Data were...
