Values are presented as mean±SD. BMI: under is classified as <18.5 kg/m²; normal, 18.5–22.9 kg/m²; over, 23.0–24.9 kg/m²; obese, ≥25.0 kg/m². DSB, distance between skin and bone; FT, fat thickness; MT, muscular thickness; DSC, distance between skin and injected gelatin core; FT/DSB, ratio of FT versus DSB; MT/DSB, ratio of MT versus DSB; PGC, measures of position in percentiles from bone surface to the center of injected gelatin. *Unit in FT/DSB and MT/DSB is percentage.
