can you expound a little more on how different populations might differ in skinfold readings. also do certain populations have different skin elasticity? i've had trouble measuring some people just because their skin/fat was really tight and hard, almost impossible to grab, whereas others (myself included) the skin feels so stretchy that it makes you question how low the reading is. even more confusing is the fact that because of this skin elasticiy issue i've found some people who look leaner visually will sometimes measure higher than someone else who actually appears "fatter."
