Model bc 418 ma

Height, body mass, waist circumference and body composition were measured in the fasted state and after voiding as described previously [27 (link)]. Height was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm using a portable stadiometer (Model 213, SECA, Hamburg, Germany). Body mass, measured to the nearest 0.1 kg, and body composition were assessed using a multi frequency segmental body composition analyzer (Model BC-418-MA, Tanita Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). Body mass index was calculated for each participant and compared against the age- and gender-matched thresholds for normal weight and overweight, as defined by the World Health Organization [28 ]. In addition, waist circumference and visceral fat percentage measures were performed using abdominal bioelectrical impedance analysis (AB 140 Viscan, Tanita Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), with participants in the supine position.

In a single-blind, within-subject study design, participants completed two experimental conditions one week apart in a randomized, counterbalanced order: high-protein, low-energy content breakfast drink (HPLE) and a very high-protein composition and fed to energy requirements (VHPER). Prior to the main experimental trials, preliminary anthropometric measures were carried out under standardized conditions. Height was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm using a portable stadiometer (Model 213, SECA, Hamburg, Germany) and body mass, measured to the nearest 0.1 kg, and body composition were measured using a multi frequency segmental body composition analyzer (Model BC-418-MA, Tanita Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). On the morning of each trial, participants arrived following an overnight fast (10 h) and having refrained from alcohol consumption and strenuous exercise for 12 h. Subjective appetite sensations were assessed using visual analogue scales (VAS) immediately prior to breakfast drink consumption (0 min) and at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 min post-drink, after which participants were free to leave. Participants recorded their EI for the rest of the day using a diet diary. Participants were instructed to refrain from strenuous physical activity for the remainder of the day.

The weight, body fat percentage (Tanita, model BC418 MA) [47 ], and waist circumference of the workers were objectively measured. The waist circumference with millimeter precision was measured horizontally midway between the top edge of the hip and lower ribs using a measurement tape (Seca, model 201) [48 (link)]. The average of the two measurements was recorded. Height was measured without shoes using a stadiometer (Seca, model 213) to the nearest 0.1 cm while weight and fat percentage (%BF) were measured without shoes and socks using the Tanita (model BC418 MA) bio-impedance segmental body composition analyzer [47 ], to the nearest 0.1 kg and 0.1%, respectively. Their BMI (kg/m²) was calculated as weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared.
