Abbreviation and definition are related to measurements

Variable	Abbreviation	Definition
Distance	DSB	Linear distance between skin and superficial surface of the hip bone at the center of injected gelatin (total length)
Distance	DSC	Linear distance between skin and center of injected gelatin
Thickness	FT	Thickness of the subcutaneous layer at center of injected gelatin
Thickness	MT	Thickness of the muscular layer at center of injected gelatin
Proportion	FT/DSB	Thickness of the subcutaneous layer at center of injected gelatin was divided by linear distance between skin and superficial surface of the hip bone at the center of injected gelatin (ratio of fat thickness)
	MT/DSB	Thickness of the muscular layer at midpoint of injected gelatin core was divided by linear distance between skin and superficial surface of the hip bone at the center of injected gelatin (ratio of muscle thickness)
	PGC	Measures of position in percentiles from hip bone surface to the center of injected gelatin
