How to measure body fat
How to measure body fat percentage at home using skinfold calipers for an adult male. Measuring body fat percentage is part of the anthropometric measurements (BMI, height, weight, etc.) that we assess as nurses.
To measure body fat percentage via the skinfold thickness measurement technique, you'll need a pair of skinfold calipers. Here's the one we demonstrated in the video (Amazon Affiliate Store Link): https://www.amazon.com/shop/registere...
There are different methods and body locations you can use to measure body fat percentage. In this video, we demonstrate how to measure body fat percentage using the triceps skinfold thickness measurement (1-site method), the 3-site Jackson/Pollock method (chest, abdomen, thigh), and the 7-site Jackson/Pollock method (triceps, abdomen, chest, thigh, suprailiac, subscapular, midaxillary) using the Sequoia TrimCal 4000 skinfold caliper.
Once you collect the skinfold measurements (in millimeters), you can plug your results into a reference chart or calculator, especially for home use. If you are collecting measurements as a part of an official nursing assessment, you'll enter the measurements into the required fields on your software or chart.
In the video, we show a graphic comparing body fat percentages, as well as the body fat percentage scale for both men and women.
In the future, we'll demonstrate how to measure body fat percentage on a female, so stay tuned.
