Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation: Skinfold measurements is one of the oldest ways of measuring a person's fat percentage,it's usually taken in specific areas of the body where there are Skinfolds,while taking this measurements it is expected that the person taking it does the average of 2or more repeated measurements in order to ensure that the actual thickness of that area of the body is correctly entered.

It is specifically taken from the right side of the body,where the person pinches out the Skinfolds away from the body by attaching a caliper ,this is to ensure that only the fatty laters are considered, it is mainly presented in percentage.
