- How to measure body fat percentage at home using skinfold calipers for an adult male. Measuring body fat percentage is part of the anthropometric measurements (BMI, height, weight, etc.) that we assess as nurses.
To measure body fat percentage via the skinfold thickness measurement technique, you'll need a pair of skinfold calipers. Here's the one we demonstrated in the video (Amazon Affiliate Store Link): www.amazon.com...
There are different methods and body locations you can use to measure body fat percentage. In this video, we demonstrate how to measure body fat percentage using the triceps skinfold thickness measurement (1-site method), the 3-site Jackson/Pollock method (chest, abdomen, thigh), and the 7-site Jackson/Pollock method (triceps, abdomen, chest, thigh, suprailiac, subscapular, midaxillary) using the Sequoia TrimCal 4000 skinfold caliper.
Once you collect the skinfold measurements (in millimeters), you can plug your results into a reference chart or calculator, especially for home use. If you are collecting measurements as a part of an official nursing assessment, you'll enter the measurements into the required fields on your software or chart.
In the video, we show a graphic comparing body fat percentages, as well as the body fat percentage scale for both men and women.
In the future, we'll demonstrate how to measure body fat percentage on a female, so stay tuned.

Hi Nurse Sara, I'm new to your page and studying for my first Teas7 . Can you please tell me the meaning of everything highlighted in pink and purple?
Thank you and I hope watching all your videos help I've been out of school for 35 years now.
Thank you so much. I survived by watching your videos and doing quizzes. Do you have videos about bowel obstructions?
I love you
Thank You ❤
Hi,Nurse Sara,thank you for your information, can you explain about AML please
She just needed an excuse to grab him
Excellent 👌so helpful thank you
13-15% body fat for men 💪💪
Good information
why does age matter.. same weight and same skin folds on two male bodybuilders, same height, different age means what?
elasticity of skin changes with age, maybe that throws the averages off if you don't account for it.
Muscle mass decrease with age and fat increases naturally as aging proceess even though same weight
You look like lana Del Rey
Thank you for addressing this. I've always wondered how to know body's fat percentage and hilariously enough i thought they use electricity to do that measurement.
😹😹
They can. That's a different method. There's also the hydrostatic method. All have different levels of accuracy and precision
Single?
👌👌👌😊
Perfect
❤
Thank you!!
Hi Sara,
So, Bodyfat % is the percentage of bodyfat of TOTAL bodyweight, yet this formula/chart you show does not seem to include total bodyweight, so how can this skinfold method accurately measure bodyfat percentage without you knowing/using the total bodyweight of the individual?
For example: imagine a skinny person weighing 150 pounds, and a very muscular person of 250 pounds having the same skinfold numbers. for the sake of this method let's say they have the same age and gender, because it seems to matter for this chart... which BTW indicates an intrinsic generalization based on statistics... So, according to this chart/method they would have the same bodyfat %, which sounds so ridiculous. Would you agree? Unless bodyweight IS part of the formula/chart.
I cannot but conclude this method is a gross generalization and isn't very accurate. ....But maybe that's part of the "disclaimer" your video text shows? What's your professional opinion/defense for this method/chart you're using?
Great comment, but why body weight matters when we just trying to pinch the SKIN and SUBCUTANEOUS tissue not the muscles?
