Abstract
Although BMI has been traditionally used as an important index in determining needling depths, our study showed that anthropometric parameters have a higher correlation with maximal safe needling depth on a high-risk acupoint associated with organ damage. Thus, anthropometric parameters may be potentially useful as an initial screening tool to avoid adverse effects of Acupoint GB21.
