Weight was measured in light clothing to the nearest 100 g by a SECA digital weighing scale (Seca725; Seca GmbH & Co., Hamburg, Germany) and height was measured using a stadiometer (Seca GmbH & Co.) to the nearest 0.1 cm without shoes. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as the body weight divided by height and expressed as kilograms per meter squared. Waist circumference (WC) was measured between the lower rib and iliac crest, using a tape meter. Data on physical activity was collected using the short-form International Physical Activity Questionnaire to calculate the metabolic equivalent (MET) minute per week [24 (link)]. Blood pressure (BP) was measured after an initial resting for 15 minutes while the patients were in a seated position and arms. BP was measured twice with at least a 30-second interval by a digital instrument (Beurer BP equipment, BC-08; Beurer GmbH, Ulm, Germany). The average of two measurements was used in our analyses.

At 1,5,10 and 16y, a research physician used standardized procedures to measure the height (cm) to the nearest 0.1 cm, using a Holtain stadiometer, and weight (kg) to the nearest 0.1 kg, using a scale (Seca 725 and 703, Seca GmbH & Co. Hamburg, Germany). Birthweight was gathered from health records. At 16y, waist circumference (WC) was measured with a non-elastic flexible tape and recorded to 0.1 cm (Seca 201, Seca GmbH & Co. Hamburg, Germany). Measurements were taken twice, with a third measurement if the difference between the first two exceeded 0.3 kg for weight, 0.5 cm for height and 1.0 cm for WC. BMI and BMI for age and sex (BMIz) were calculated. Obesity was diagnosed with 2006 and 2007 WHO references according to age: BMIz >2 sd. Obesity in early childhood was defined as having a BMIz >2 sd before the age of 6. Total fat mass (TFM) was determined on dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (apparatus: Lunar Prodigy Corp., Madison, WI. Software: Lunar iDXA ENCORE 2011, Version 13.60.033) and total fat-free mass (TFFM) was estimated.

Self-reported information on general characteristics including age, educational level, marital and economic status, time since menopause, medical history, medicine and nutritional supplement use were obtained from all women. Height was measured using the wall-mounted stadiometer to the nearest 0.5 cm. Weight was measured in light clothing to the nearest 0.1 kg with a digital weighing scale (Seca725 GmbH & Co. Hamburg, Germany). Waist circumference (WC) was assessed to the nearest 0.5 cm using the flexible tape at the midpoint between the lowest rib and the iliac crest. BMI was calculated by dividing body weight (kg) by the square of body height (m2). Physical activity was measured using the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) [23 ].
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.
