Outline of Final Research Achievements

①Plastic skinfold caliper confirmed the same accuracy as Eiken-Type skinfold caliper. Plastic skinfold caliper adopted an adipometer excellent in durability. ②The abdominal skinfold thickness measurement method enabled viewing by YOUTUBE. ③Obesity thresholds of abdominal skinfold thickness was established in children. Classification for abdominal skinfold thickness thresholds are specified as follows : “Overweight”, “Moderately obese”, “Severely obese”. ④Prepared a spreadsheet program for growth evaluation. The program made it clear that the calculated value of "degree of obesity" was judged, the calculated value of "BMI" was judged, and the judgment of "abdominal skinfold thickness" was clearly indicated.
