SUPRAILIAC
Above the iliac crest in mid-axillary line (about one inch above the hip
bone at an angle of 45 degrees to vertical).
Mark the point about one inch above the hip bone.
When taking the measurement, the skinfold caliper should be orientat-
ed at 45 degrees.
CHILD TABLES
The American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD) suggests that na-
tional percentage norms are the best reference for skinfold measurements and body fat content in children
under 17 years of age. AAHPERD suggests that the ideal is the 50th percentile: those below the 25th percentile
should be encouraged to reduce the amount of body fat, while those above the 90th percentile should not be
encouraged to lose body fat.
To find the appropriate percentile for boys and girls:
1. Add the two (2) average skinfold readings (triceps and subscapular)
2. Find your PERCENTILE by reading down the appropriate age column until you intersect with the skinfold
reading.
Then read the percentile by looking to the left in that row.
See Boys/Girls Percentile Table below.

* To find the appropriate percentile for boys and girls: Add the two (2) average skinfold readings (triceps and subscapular, i.e. 11/14).
Find your PERCENTILE by reading down the appropriate age column until you intersect with the skinfold reading. Then read the percentile
by looking to the left in that row. (example: age 9, average skinfold readings 11/14, percentile would be 75).
