It is difficult to evaluate body fatness in non-ambulatory DMD patients. Non-ambulatory DMD patients were evaluated by triceps skinfold thickness (TSF). TSF showed good correlation with area of subcutaneous and visceral fat. TSF measurement may be a helpful tool for the evaluation of body fatness with DMD.
