1. Regression equations predicting body density from skinfold measurements were derived for a group of lactating women.

2. It was concluded that specific equations for lactation were not necessary, since the resultant equations were not significantly different from those published for non-lactating women.

3. The ability to predict an individual's body density from skinfold thickness measurements was unsatisfactory for either clinical or research applications.
