Height was measured using a stadiometer and body weight using a calibrated, digital scale (Seca 876 scale, Seca corporation, Hamburg Germany). BMI was calculated by dividing weight(kg)/height(m)2. Body girth measurements including neck, shoulder, chest, arm, waist, hip, and calf were taken using a research grade measuring tape and were completed as per the Canadian Physical Activity, Fitness, & Lifestyle Approach procedure manual (CSEP, 2003 ). On a weekly basis, participants also self-reported their weight and waist circumference and were given detailed instructions from the procedure manual to follow. Total girth was calculated by summing all measurements and was used in the analysis. Body fat mass (lbs) and muscle mass (lbs) was determined using the Inbody R20 Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzer device (Dolezal et al., 2013 ). All anthropometric and body composition measurements were taken by a trained professional at baseline and 12 months while participants were shoeless and wearing light clothing.

The Seca 876 scale is a precision electronic scale designed for medical and clinical use. It is a large, sturdy, and stable platform scale capable of weighing patients up to 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) with an accuracy of 0.1 kg (0.2 lbs). The scale features a large LCD display for easy readability and has multiple functions, including Body Mass Index (BMI) calculation. The Seca 876 is built to high quality standards and is suitable for a variety of healthcare settings.

Body weight and height were measured according to the WHO guidelines reported in the STEPS Surveillance Manual.27 Height was measured in centimetres using a mobile stadiometer, Seca 217, and body weight was recorded in kilograms using the Seca 876 scale. The BMI-for-age for each adolescent was calculated using these data. Weight status was classified based on the BMI-for-age criteria provided by the WHO as a measure for children and adolescents aged 5–19 years. BMI values >+1.0 SD were considered overweight, while >+2.0 SD was classified as obese; values <−2.0 SD were classified as underweight.28 29 (link) The WHO AnthroPlus software was used for calculating the BMI-for-age Z-scores.30

Baseline height and weight were measured at the first baseline visit when mothers were in their first or second trimester of pregnancy. Maternal height was measured using a Seca 213 stadiometer (seca GmbH) in centimeters to the nearest 0.1 cm. Maternal weight was measured using a Seca 876 scale (seca GmbH) and measured to the nearest 0.1 kg. Two measurements for height and weight were taken. If the first 2 measurements for height and weight had a difference of >1 cm (height) or 0.5 kg (weight), then a third measurement was taken, and the 2 closest measurements were used to calculate average height and weight. Maternal BMI was operationalized as a continuous variable because baseline maternal BMI measurements are not reflective of prepregnancy weight and BMI. Traditional BMI categories (underweight, normal, overweight, and obese) were not calculated given that BMI was based on weight measurements at the baseline assessment when participants were late in their first, or early in their second, trimester of pregnancy.

Height was measured using a Shorrboard Stadiometer (www.shorrproductions.com ), with the individual in an erect position with the Frankfurt plane as horizontal as possible. Height was measured with shoes if worn (this was noted in the anthropometry form). Height was recorded in centimeters to the nearest millimeter.
Weight was measured using a set of Seca 876 scales and recorded in kilograms to one decimal place. Weight was measured with shoes if worn. Care was taken to ensure that the scales were firmly seated and level.

Infant crown-heel length was measured using a portable Shorr Board (Shorr productions, Olney Md. USA), and weight was measured using electronic SECA 876 scales (SECA Ltd. Germany), with precision to the nearest 100 g. Infant weight for age, weight for length and length for age z scores were calculated using WHO Anthro (version 3.2.2, January 2011)
[19 ]. Stunting was defined as length-for-age z scores less than two standard deviations below WHO Child Growth Standards, wasting as weight for length z scores less than two standard deviations below WHO Child Growth Standards, underweight as weight for age z scores less than two standard deviations below WHO Child Growth Standards, and low mid-upper arm circumference as mid upper arm circumference z scores less than two standard deviations below WHO Child Growth Standards
[20 ]. Infant weight gain velocity was derived from weight measurements taken at birth and 6 months of age, divided by the number of months between the two observations.

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.
