Will be carry out by trained nurses, following standard procedures: 1) Weight: will be measured with a TANITA electronic scale, with participants wearing minimal clothes and without shoes; 2) Height: will be measured with a conventional stadiometer, with participants standing without shoes; 3) Body Mass Index (BMI): will be calculated by dividing kilograms by height in meters squared. The data obtained will be categorized according to the following criteria: normal (BMI = 18.5-24.9 kg/m²), overweight (BMI = 25–29.9 kg/m²) and obese (BMI = ≥ 30 kg/m²) [43 (link)] 4). Waist circumference: measured at the highest point of the iliac crest at the end of expiration, to the nearest measuring tape point of 0.1 cm. The criteria for abdominal obesity will be: men > 100 cm and women > 88 cm [44 (link)] 5); Hip circumference: Participants will be standing with feet separated about 20 cm and weight distributed evenly on both feet, at level of the maximum extent of gluteus in a horizontal plane, verifies that the measuring tape covers at same high the perimeter of the body, near to the skin but without compress [45 ].

Anthropometric Measurements and Body Composition

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Subjects were dressed in light clothing and were barefoot during
these measures. Height was measured to the nearest mm using a stadiometer
and the average of three measures was used in the analyses. Body weight was
measured to the nearest 0.1 kg using an electronic scale (Tanita, Arlington
Heights, IL, USA). Body mass index was determined as weight divided by
height squared (kg/m²). Fat and fat-free mass and % body
fat were estimated from a whole body scan using dual-energy x-ray
absorptiometry (Lunar Prodigy Advance, GE, version 8.70.005) as we have
previously described (Hwang et al.
2013).

Subjects were dressed in light clothing and were barefoot. Height was measured to the nearest mm with a stadiometer. Body weight was measured to the nearest 0.1 kg using an electronic scale (Tanita, Arlington Heights, IL, USA). Body mass index was calculated as weight divided by height squared (kg/m²). Waist circumference was measured with a non-stretchable tape at the smallest horizontal narrowing between the ribs and iliac crest with the subject in the standing position. Three measures were taken to the nearest 1 mm.

Anthropometric Measurements for BMI

Body weight was measured using the Tanita electronic scale, and height was measured using standard protocols. BMI (body mass (kg)/height (m²) was included as a continuous variable. Where nurse-measured BMI was missing (n=66) this was imputed based on self-reported measurements.

Anthropometric Measurements and BMI Classification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Participants were measured for weight and height, wearing light clothing and barefoot, by an electronic scale (Tanita, Arlington, IL) to the nearest 0.1 kg and a stadiometer (Health o meter, South Shelton, CT) to the nearest 0.1 cm, respectively. BMI was calculated as weight in kg divided by height in m² and classified as healthy weight (18.5–24.9 kg/m²), overweight (25–29.9 kg/m²), obese class I (30–34.9 kg/m²), or obese class II (35–40 kg/m²). A MyoTape body tape (AccuFitness, Greenwood Village, CO) measured body circumferences. Waist circumference was measured at the top of the iliac crest across the belly button and hip circumference was assessed at the widest extension of the buttocks. Anthropometric assessments followed standard protocols for anthropometric measurements (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III, 1988 ).

Comprehensive Metabolic Profile Assessment

Sex, age, genotype and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (defined as current enzyme supplementation) were collected from medical files. Body weight was measured by an electronic scale (Tanita Corporation Arlington heights, IL, USA) and height was measured using a wall stadiometer. BMI was calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in square meter (kg/m 2 ). On the day of the OGTT, pulmonary function was measured by spirometry and predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s (%FEV 1 ) was the reference value analysed (Medgraphic 1870, St. Paul, MN, USA).

Age, sex and genotype were obtained from medical files. Patients on pancreatic enzymes replacement supplements were categorized as having pancreatic insufficiency. Body weight and fat mass were determined using an electronic scale (Tanita Corporation Arlington Heights, IL, USA) and standing height was measured using a wall stadiometer. BMI was calculated using weight in kilograms divided by height in squared meter (kg/m²). Pulmonary capacity was measured by spirometry on the same day as the OGTT and was expressed using the percentage of predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV₁%: Medgraphic 1870, ST Paul, MN, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Anthropometric measurements included (i) standing height using a mechanical column scale with integrated stadiometer (Seca model 709, Hamburg, Germany) and (ii) body weight using an electronic scale (Tanita Corporation, Amsterdam, The Netherlands). Body mass index was calculated as the ratio of weight (kg) and height squared (m²). Waist circumference (WC) was measured in a standing position using a non-stretch tape. Body composition was measured using two devices: (i) multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analyzer (BIA; Inbody 720, Biospace Co., Ltd, Seoul, Korea) for the assessment of total fat mass (percentage and kg), fat free mass (kg), skeletal muscle mass (kg) and (ii) a dual-frequency BIA device (ViScan AB-140, Tanita) for the assessment of trunk (abdominal) fat percentage (Hunma et al., 2016 (link)). The ViScan technique has been validated against magnetic resonance imaging for the prediction of abdominal fat percentage (Browning et al., 2010 (link)).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
