Skinfold Measurement (SFM)

To be completed by all respondents except those meeting the exclusion criteria:

1. Women who are pregnant (PHC_Q11 = 1).
2. Respondents with a BMI greater than or equal to 30 kg/m².
3. Respondents without a height or weight measurement

SFM_Q01
In order to calculate your body composition score, I will also measure the thickness of your skinfolds using these skinfold calipers. To measure a skinfold, I will take hold of a fold of skin plus any underlying fat tissue between my fingers. Then I will place the calipers on the fold at which time you may feel a slight pinch. Let me show you how it will feel on your hand.
Instruction: Show the skinfold calipers to the respondent and demonstrate the technique on the palm of the respondent’s hand.

Note: Don’t Know and Refused are not allowed.
All respondents except those meeting the exclusion criteria at the beginning of the
Skinfold Measurement (SFM) block

SFM_R02
I will be measuring skinfolds at five sites: back of the arm (triceps), front of the arm (biceps), shoulder blade (subscapular), waist (iliac crest) and on the inside of your calf (medial calf). At each site I will be taking 2 or 3 measurements.

The measurement must be taken directly against the skin so I may need you to move your clothing slightly to have access to the various sites. First, I need to mark the location of each site using this washable marker. When I’m done, I’ll remove them with a wipe.
Instruction: Mark all locations.
All respondents except those meeting the exclusion criteria at the beginning of the
Skinfold Measurement (SFM) block

Second Skinfold Measurements

SFM_N21 to SFM_S25
If the first skinfold for all five measurement sites are either Don’t Know or Refused, go to SFM_END. If a given skinfold measurement site is either Don’t Know or Refused, that measurement is not taken a second time.

Note: This sequence of measurements is repeated a second time and recorded for all five skinfold sites.

Third Skinfold Measurements

SFM_R30
If the difference between the two skinfold measures is greater than 0.4 mm at any site, a third measurement is taken for the site(s). For any site, if either the first or second measure could not be taken, a third measurement is not taken for that site.

The difference between the first and second measures at [one site / two sites / three sites / four sites / five sites] is too large, so I will have to take a third measurement for [this/these site(s)].

Note: The skinfold measurement(s) is/are retaken a third time for every site where the difference between the 1st and 2nd measurement is greater than 0.4 mm
Then the following variables are calculated:

• triceps skinfold average
• biceps skinfold average

SPM_Q031
During the test, you will wear this clip on your nose and place this mouthpiece in
your mouth. Your lips and teeth should be nice and tight around the mouthpiece, so that no air escapes. Once you have the mouthpiece in your mouth, you will follow a few easy steps.

1. First, you are going to breathe normally.
2. Next, I’m going to tell you to take a big breath in! I want you to fill up your lungs with as much air as possible, and as quickly as possible.
3. As soon as you’ve filled your lungs, I’m going to tell you to blow the air out as fast, as hard, and for as long as possible. Don’t hold your breath at all; you need to blow it out as quickly as possible.
4. After that, I’m going to tell you to keep blowing, keep blowing, keep blowing! Even if you think no more air is coming out, keep blowing because there may be a little bit left and we want to get it all out.
5. When you’ve finished blowing out, I’m going to tell you to take a big breath in again, just like the first one.
6. Finally, you can remove the mouthpiece from your mouth and take the nose clip off of your nose.

Instruction: Demonstrate the test from start to finish, as realistically as possible.
