The relationship between weight loss and skinfold thickness varies depending on factors like body composition, fat distribution, and individual metabolism. However, research suggests that a 1kg reduction in body weight typically corresponds to a 2-4 mm decrease in the sum of skinfold thickness measurements.
Here’s why this varies:
Fat vs. Muscle Loss – If weight loss comes primarily from fat, skinfold thickness will decrease more significantly. However, if muscle loss is involved, the change may be less noticeable.
Body Fat Distribution – People with higher initial body fat percentages tend to experience greater reductions in skinfold thickness compared to leaner individuals losing the same amount of weight.
Hydration and Skin Elasticity – Changes in water retention and skin elasticity can also affect skinfold measurements, making reductions less linear.
For a more precise estimation, tracking skinfold measurements at multiple sites over time gives a clearer picture of fat loss.

Gastric reduction surgery or gastric bypass surgery is a form of bariatric weight loss surgery that surgically reduces the size of the stomach. This allows for less food to enter your body. Patients who have gastric reduction surgery typically see drastic and immediate results. Large amounts of weight are frequently lost before patients even leave the hospital. Weight loss surgery carries significant risk for complications and severe side effects, including death. Because of this, it is reserved for morbidly obese patients who have exhausted all other means of weight loss and surgery is a last resort at saving their lives.
