Could you be a bit more specific?

1.Calculate body mass index (BMI), body density (using the age and gender appropriate skinfold regression equations of Durnin and Womersley (1974)), and percentage body fat (using the gender appropriate equations of Siri (1956) and Lohman (1986)) for each person. (15 marks).

Pretty sure you're in the wrong forum for this sort of thing. Fitness maybe?

Jeez, how come people can't google??

I found the following link using the search term "skinfold regression equation":

http://books.google.ie/books?id=QVz_...uation&f=false

At least it should get you started.

You could also try searching for "Body Mass Index Siri" which will give you links to the equation, and similar for Lohman, Durnin and Womersley.
