What is your nutritional status?

The Lange Skinfold Caliper is a precision instrument specifically designed for the simple, accurate measurement of subcutaneous tissue.
This is my own personal pair of skinfold calipers.
I used these when I was conducting nutrition research on young adults with cystic fibrosis back in 1992 to fulfill requirements towards my Master's Thesis.

(Insert smile) Well, I'm sure it was useful in the research. Nice isolation of the subject.

I guess that´s really helpful to realize you got to go on a diet!
