  measure Skinfold thickness

  Study:	TRAILS
  Mode of collection:	MeasurementsAndTests    Biological sample/measurement
  Available measurements:	Population cohort  POP - T1 POP - T3 POP - T4 Clinical cohort  CC - T1 CC - T3 CC - T4

  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.

  measure Bio-electrical impedance

  Study:	TRAILS
  Mode of collection:	MeasurementsAndTests    Anthropometrics/Body measures
  Available measurements:	Population cohort  POP - T3 Clinical cohort  CC - T3
  	0 5 10 15 20 25 30 years

  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).
