    Skinfold thickness is an assessment of body fat which can noninvasively and reliably be measured at various sites of the body using a skinfold caliper. Based on measurements at multiple sites of the body, the total body fat and contribution of fat to the body mass can be estimated.

    Fetal growth was assesses via fetal ultrasounds carried out by sonographics during visits to the research center using standardized ultrasound procedures. Fetal growth measures included crown-rump length, head circumference, abdominal circumference, and femur length. Femur length was used as a proxy for fetal length. Estimated fetal weight was calculated...

    Bio-electrical impedance is an assessment of body fat. Voltage measurements of weak electric currents that are sent through the body are used to estimate total body water (as a proxy for muscle mass which contains a lot of water) and, by difference with body weight, body fat (which hardly contains water).
