• Description:
  This report presents skinfold measurements of youths 12-17 years of age in the noninstitutionalized population of the United States, as estimated from the Health Examination Survey (HES) of 1966-70. Findings have been analyzed by age, sex, race, and geographic region. Publication of this report completes a series describing and analyzing the quantity and distribution of subcutaneous fat in individuals and groups over the age range of 6-79 years. The HES was conducted as a series of separate programs, called cycles, each of which examined national probability samples of a specific age range of the noninstitutionalized population of the United States for a variety of information related to health and development.
