Precision of anthropometric measurements: the value of mid-arm circumference. Abstract Text:

A D Harries,L A Jones,R V Heatley,R G Newcombe,J Rhodes,

A study was carried out to examine how reproducible anthropometric measurements were within and between two observers on a group of 24 normal subjects and 20 obese individuals. A further study was performed on 28 malnourished patients with Crohn's disease undergoing a controlled trial of nutritional therapy to assess how weight change correlated with other anthropometric parameters. The measurement that was most reproducible and correlated most with weight change was mid-arm circumference. As it is the simplest measurement to perform, we recommend that it is used more often in nutritional studies.
