“…The correlation between BMI and skin folds was strong when all schoolchildren are considered, and it may be considered a good indicator of fat, given that through the width of skin fold, fat located in certain regions of the body can be determined. Similar results were verified by other studies, finding a good correlation between these measurements [37][38][39] . However, when the analysis is performed with the ratio between skin folds, correlation becomes weak.…”
