    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.

    Skinfold thickness, waist and hip circumference were assessed as an indication of body fat. Skinfold thickness 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.

    The Perception of Teasing Scale (POTS) assesses self-perceived teasing about weight (weight-related teasing) and about abilities/competencies (competency teasing), and the effect that teasing has on the participant ("How upset were you?").

    The Children's Body Image Scale consists of seven gender-specific figures in ascending order of adiposity, which correspond with actual sex-adjusted body mass index (BMI) categories, including underweight, normal weight, overweight and obesity. Using figures, children are asked to indicate to which figure their body looks most similar, and to indicate...

    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).
