Anthropometric Measurements and BMI Calculation

Body weight and height (lightly clothed, without shoes) were measured as part of the fitness tests using a Seca 862 digital scale (the accuracy of measurement ± 50 g up to the weight of 150 kg) and a Seca 213 mobile stadiometer up to a height of 205 cm (Seca Corporation, Hamburg, Germany). BMI was calculated as the body weight (in kg) divided by the square of the height (in m). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) norms, a BMI above the 90th percentile for the average age of the study population was considered as overweight (~22 kg/m²) [34 ].

Participant’s height (cm) and body mass (kg) were collected in each week using a seca 213 mobile stadiometer and pre-calibrated seca flat scales (Hamburg, Germany) with participants wearing Army uniform except for boots (with uniform taken into consideration). All uniforms were estimated to weigh 0.5 kg which was subtracted from the original participant’s body mass.

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

Anthropometric measurements included height, weight, WC, HC, BMI, WHR, WHtR, BAI, CI, and the two new indices—ABSI and BRI. The height of subjects was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm without shoes and weight was also measured to the nearest 0.1 kg with participants in light clothing. A bathroom scale (Zhongshan Camry Electronic Co. Ltd., Guangdong, China) was used to weigh the participants and their height was measured with a stadiometer (Seca 213 mobile stadiometer, Germany). During height measurement, participants stood upright with back straight, heels together, and their feet slightly apart at a 60° angle. Waist circumference (to the nearest 0.1 cm) was measured with a Gulick II spring-loaded measuring tape (Gay Mills, WI) halfway between the inferior angles of the ribs and the suprailiac crests. The hip circumference was measured at the widest diameter around the gluteal protuberance to the nearest 0.1 cm. The other anthropometric indices were calculated as follows:
BMI was calculated according to Quetelet’s formula (34 ):
CI was calculated from the formula (23 (link)):
The BAI was calculated from the formula (35 (link)):
ABSI was calculated from the formula (25 (link)):
BRI was calculated by the formula (26 (link)):

Anthropometric Measurements and BMI Categorization

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

Anthropometry was done by qualified and trained nutritionists. The height was measured to the nearest 0.1 centimeter using Seca 213 Mobile Stadiometer (Seca, Hamburg, Deutschland). Two measurements of height were recorded for each participant. If the difference between the two height measurements was greater than 5 mm, then a second set of two height measurements was taken to obtain more precise values. Weight was measured to the nearest 0.1 kilogram using portable Seca 803 weighing scale (Seca, Hamburg, Deutschland). The unit was standardized by calibrating it to zero before each measurement.
Body mass index (BMI) was calculated using the standard equation:

BMI (\frac{kg}{m2}) = Weight (in kg) / {[Height (in m)]}^{2}

We categorised the participants as severely thin, thin, normal, overweight, obese and severely obese based on their BMI for age as recommended by WHO expert committee for assessing anthropometric indicators [27 ].

Anthropometric Measurements in Children

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

Anthropometric measurements were collected with the participants wearing light clothing without shoes, using standardized methods and equipment (2 ). Height and weight were measured using Seca 213 mobile stadiometer and Seca model 869 scales (Seca North America, Chino, CA). Body Mass Index (BMI) were calculated using the standard equation (body weight [kg] / height [m]²). The primary outcome measures included child BMI z-scores and percentiles based on CDC growth charts, and change in this outcome from baseline to follow-up. Secondary outcome measures included child waist circumference measured in triplicate at the level of the umbilicus to the nearest 0.1 cm.

Anthropometric Measurements and Body Composition

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

Height, weight, percentage of body fat and visceral fat, waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC) were measured. The measurements were taken with respondents wearing light clothing. Height was measured with a stadiometer (Seca 213 mobile stadiometer, Hamburg, Germany) to the nearest 0.1 cm with participants standing upright without shoes. Weight was measured using an OMRON Body Composition Analyzer to the nearest 0.1 kg. The same equipment provided values for BMI, percentage of body fat and visceral fat. WC and HC measurements were taken using a non-extensible measuring tape with participants in light clothing. The WC was measured just above the naval to the nearest 0.1 cm whereas the HC was measured at the level of the greater trochanter to the nearest 0.1 cm. The waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) was calculated by dividing WC by HC.

Data on maternal ethnicity, age and education level were collected from participants during recruitment. Information about smoking during pregnancy and pregnancy BMI was collected at a clinic visit at 26–28 weeks gestation. Information on birth weight, gestational age, infant gender, and birth order was ascertained from birth records, and infant milk feeding data from infancy questionnaires administered at 3 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. At 3–18 months of age infant weight was measured to the nearest gram (g) (SECA 334 Corp. Hamburg, Germany) while the weight of toddlers at 24 months was measured to the nearest kilograms (kg) using calibrated scales (SECA 813 Corp. Hamburg, Germany). Recumbent infant crown-heel length was measured using an infant mat when the infant was 3–18 months of age (SECA 210 mobile measuring mat); the child’s standing height at age 24 months was measured using a stadiometer (SECA 213 Mobile Stadiometer). All measurements were taken by trained staff during either clinic visits or home visits. Both length and height were measured to the nearest 0.1 cm. For reliability, height and weight measurements were averaged from duplicate values.

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.
