Questions on participant-reported age, sex, ethnicity, household size, education, and aspects of medical history (including treatment for hypertension) were based on WHO and PAHO STEPS survey instruments [22 ,26 ]. Height and weight were measured using a mobile stadiometer (Seca 2017 Hamburg, Germany) and digital scales (Seca Robusta 813) to calculate body mass index. Blood pressure was measured following protocols described in detail elsewhere [27 (link)] using a digital, automatic blood pressure monitor (Omron Tokyo, Japan, HEM-705CP/Mediscope, Basingstoke, UK). We measured blood pressure three times and used the means of the second and third systolic and diastolic measurements in analysis.

Height and weight were measured in school according to standardised procedures [8 (link)] by two trained research assistants. The standardised procedure included measuring the child’s weight where the child was wearing light clothing (t-shirt and trousers) to the nearest 0.1 kg (kg) using a digital scale (SECA Robusta 813).Height was measured using a SECA stadiometer (214) to the nearest 0.001 m (m). The child was instructed to take off shoes, stand with the feet apart, having the calves, back and shoulders touching the stadiometer, and the heels and back touching the wall and looking straight forward. The research assistants were trained in the measurement procedures to the level of reliability where they differed 0.1 kg in the weight measurement and 0.002 m in the height measurements, when measuring the same person, before they started the T4 measurements in this study. The assistants measured both intervention and control group to an equal extent. BMI was calculated as weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared, and BMI standard deviation score (BMI-sds) was calculated according to a Swedish reference standard [20 (link)]. The International Obesity Task Force cut-off points were used to define children’s weight status (underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity) [21 (link)].

Data collectors measured height and weight, and BMI was derived from the standard formula of weight (kg) divided by height squared (m2). Data collectors were trained in anthropometric procedures and measured height using a carpenter’s square (triangle) and an 8-ft folding wooden ruler marked in inches. Height was recorded to the nearest one-eighth of an inch. Interviewers entered adjustments to the height—e.g., for shoes or hair ornaments that the respondent chose not to remove. Respondent weight was measured using the SECA Robusta 813 digital scale, which was capable of weighing respondents up to 400 pounds. If the respondent weighed more than 400 pounds, self-reported weight was used (n = 2). Interviewers recorded weight as it appeared on the scale’s LCD display, to the nearest one-tenth of a pound.

Children's and maternal bodyweight was measured during every home visit using a calibrated digital scale (SECA robusta 813), in kilograms to the nearest 0.1 kg. Children's length was measured on an infant measuring mat to the nearest 0.5 cm. Maternal height was measured at the start of the BFB trial using a portable stadiometer to the nearest 0.5 cm. For children, body mass index (BMI) was calculated and transformed into age and sex‐standardized z‐scores (BMI‐z) based on the WHO Child Growth Standards for boys and girls aged 0 to 60 months.32 Maternal height and body weight were used to calculate BMI in kg/m2. In case the mother was pregnant or had recently given birth, the bodyweight of the mother measured during the home visit when the child was 12 months old was used to calculate maternal BMI (n = 37).

Height will be measured to the nearest 0.1 cm using a stadiometer (Seca 217) and weight to the nearest 0.1 kg using calibrated mass scales (Seca robusta 813). BMI will be calculated by dividing weight in kg by the square of height in m. Two blood pressure readings on each arm, using an automated blood pressure monitor (Boso medicus x), will be recorded while the participant is in a seated position.

Height and weight of all subjects were measured at first visit (~8 week of gestation) using a portable SECA scale (SECA robusta 813, Hamburg, Germany) to nearest 0.1 kg and a SECA height rod to nearest 0.1 cm (SECA 213 portable stadiometer). Gestational weight was monitored at every follow up, at 20–22, 28–30 and 34–36 weeks until delivery and soon after delivery. Mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) and skin fold thickness at four sites—biceps, triceps, subscapular and suprailiac (BSF, TSF, SC, SI)—were measured at the first (8–10 weeks), second (20–22 weeks) and third (28–30 weeks) visit for body composition analysis. All measurements were performed in duplicate by two trained ANMs (auxiliary nurse midwife). MUAC was measured using a MUAC tape to nearest 1 mm and a Harpenden skinfold caliper (Baty International, Burgess Hill, West Sussex, UK) was used to measure skin-fold thickness to nearest 0.1 mm sensitivity. Maternal BMI (kg/m2) at 8–10 weeks gestation was considered baseline and graded according to the WHO’s Asia-Pacific standards [38 (link)]: Ranges used for BMI were <18.5, underweight; 18.5–22.9, normal weight; 23–27.5, overweight and ≥27.5, obese group. The ranges differed in WHO classification, where 18.5–24.9 is normal, 25–29.9 is overweight and ≥30 considered obese.

A series of questions from the WHO and PAHO STEPS survey instruments were used to collect information on participant age, sex, ethnicity, household size, education, employment and medical history [22 ,23 ]. Height was measured using a mobile stadiometer (Seca 2017, Hamburg, Germany) and weight was measured using a digital scale (Seca Robusta 813).

Child bodyweight was measured during each follow-up assessment at home using a calibrated digital scale (robusta 813; SECA), in kilograms to the nearest 0.1 kg. Up until t18 the child's height was measured on an infant measuring mat to the nearest 0.5 cm. At t24 children's height was measured with a portable stadiometer (SECA 213, Seca)). BMI was calculated and transformed into age- and sex-standardized z-scores (BMI-z) using reference values from the WHO child growth standards (2019) (30 ) and the following formula (31 (link)):
As reported in earlier studies (32 (link), 33 (link)), change in BMI-z was calculated (t0 to t18, t0 to t24, and t18 to t24) as a measure of weight gain. To establish the success rate in each condition, a cutoff for BMI-z of 2 (upper limit for normal weight) was used (34 ).

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.
