摘要：Reliability and reproducibility on the measured value of thickness of subcutaneous fat by the Skin Hold Caliper method were investigated in this study. Ten examiners measured six points of the body of a subject four times each. The results obtained were :1) The measured values showed a dispersion caused by the difference in measuring point or method. 2) It was observed that protocol statement indicating a correct measuring method or point led a dispersion of the measuring value to become smaller among examiners. 3) As proved in other measuring methods of thickness of subcutaneous fat, the Skin Hold Caliper method is supposed to require education and skill of a examiner.
