The measurements of triceps skinfold thickness, body weight and height were done in children aged 7 to 12 years(3,142 boys and 2588 girls) in Kwangju in 1992.
The author also observed degree of obesity, prevalence of obesity and average value of triceps skinfold thickness.
The results were summarized as follows:
1) The mean value of triceps skinfold thickness acceding to age in male was 7 years 10.5mm, 8 years 10.5mm, 9 years 10.2mm, 10 years 12.3mm, 11 years 13.8mm, 12 years 12.3mm. In the female it was 7 years 11.9mm, 8 years 11.9mm, 9 years 11.6mm, 10 years 12.6mm, 11 years 14.1mm, 12 years 13.6mm.
2) The mean value of triceps skinfold thickness acceding to age in obese male was 7 years 16.3mm, 8 years 17.3mm, 9 years 16.0mm, 10 years 19.5mm, 11 years 23.7mm, 12 years 20.1mm. In the obese female it was 7 years 17.3mm, 8 years 17.9mm, 9 years 18.4mm, 10 years 19.5mm, 11 years 21.2mm, 12 years 20.3mm.
