Anthropometric and Body Composition Evaluation

Anthropometric variables were measured by a certified anthropometrist [the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK)] following the ISAK guidelines²¹. Both body weight and height were assessed using an electronic scale and stadiometer (Seca model 799, Hamburg, Germany), and the body mass index (BMI) was calculated as (weight [kg]/ height² [m]). A dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scanner (Discovery Wi, Hologic, Inc., Bedford, MA, USA) was used to measure body composition following the manufacturer’s recommendations. We conducted the quality controls, the positioning of the participants and the analyses of the results following the manufacturer’s recommendations. An automatic delineation of the anatomic regions was performed by the software APEX 4.0.2. We acquired spine phantom quality control scans on each study day. The results displayed lean mass and fat mass and the lean mass index (LMI) and the fat mass index (FMI), which were calculated as (lean mass [kg]/ heigh^t2 [m]) and (fat mass [kg]/ height² [m]) respectively.

Anthropometric Measurements and Body Composition

On the first testing day (Fig. 1), a stadiometer and scale were used to measure height and weight (Seca model 799, Electronic Column Scale, Hamburg, Germany), while participants wore light clothing and no shoes. Then, the body mass index (BMI) was calculated as the weight (in kilograms) divided by the squared height (in meters). At the end of the first testing day, body composition (lean mass, fat mass, and fat mass percentage) was determined using a whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scanner (Discovery Wi, Hologic, Inc., Bedford, MA, USA).

Anthropometric Assessment of Young Adults

Twenty-nine non-ventilated young adults (see participant flowchart, Supplementary Fig. 1) participated in this observational study (Table 1). The inclusion criteria were: (i) older than 18 years; (ii) body mass index between 18.5 and 40 kg/m²; (iii) stable body weight over the last 3 months (changes ≤3 kg) and not enrolled in a weight loss program; (iv) non-smokers; (v) no medication that could directly affect energy metabolism; (vi) free from chronic or acute illness; and (vii) not pregnant. All these criteria were verbally confirmed by the participants. Both, the study protocol and written informed consent followed the 2013 revised Declaration of Helsinki and were approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the University of Granada (n. 836).
On the first visit, height and weight were measured using a stadiometer and scale (Seca model 799, Electronic Column Scale, Hamburg, Germany) without shoes and with light clothing (replicated on both visits). Waist circumference was measured twice using a plastic tape while the subjects were in a standing position, and the average of both assessments was used. Lastly, body composition was assessed by whole-body dual-energy X- ray absorptiometry (Discovery Wi, Hologic, Inc., Bedford, MA, USA).

We measured the participant's weight and height with a scale and stadiometer (Seca, model 799, Electronic Column Scale, Hamburg, Germany) after an overnight fasting and BMI was calculated. Moreover, after assessing MIT, participants were moved into another room where a whole-body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan (Discovery Wi, Hologic, Inc., Bedford, MA, USA) was performed to determine body composition.

On day 1, body mass and height were measured using a Model 799 electronic column scale (SECA, Hamburg, Germany). BMI was determined as body mass (kg)/height (m²). Fat mass and lean mass were assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry using a Discovery Wi device (Hologic, Inc., Bedford, MA, USA) following the manufacturer’s recommendations. The fat mass index (FMI) and lean mass index (LMI) were calculated as fat body mass (kg)/height (m²) and lean body mass (kg)/height (m²), respectively.

All participants were weighed to the nearest 0.01 kg on an electronic scale (Model 799; Seca GmbH, Hamburg, Germany) while wearing minimal clothing and without shoes. Height was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm with a portable stadiometer (Model 220; Seca GmbH).³⁴ All measurements were performed twice, and the mean of the 2 measurements was recorded. Body mass index was calculated as body mass/height² (kg/m²).

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.
