Electronic scale

Manufactured by Detecto

Sourced in Macao

The electronic scale is a precision weighing instrument designed for laboratory use. It provides accurate measurements of weight or mass with digital display. The scale operates on electricity and offers consistent and reliable performance for weighing various materials or samples.

Body weight was measured to the nearest ±0.1 kg with an electronic scale (Detecto, Webb City, MO), and height was measured to the nearest ±0.5 cm with a stadiometer (Holtain; Crymych, Dyfed, UK). Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as weight divided by height squared (kg/m²). Underweight was defined as BMI ≤18.5, normal weight as BMI>18.5 and < 25, overweight as BMI ≥25 but <30, and obesity as BMI ≥30.

Anthropometric Measurements for BMI Analysis

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

Anthropometrics were measured at least twice until consistent measures were obtained. Body weight (in light clothing) and height (without shoes) were measured with an electronic scale (Detecto, Web City, MO) and stadiometer (Tanita, Arlington Heights, IL) and converted to a BMI z-score for analysis (55 (link)). BMI percentiles are presented in Table 1 for interpretability. Because weight status was an inclusion criterion for the study, this was evaluated prior to enrollment.

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.
