Height and weight were measured with participants wearing light‐weight clothes and without shoes (Leicester height measure; Chasmors, London, UK, and HD305; Tanita, Tokyo, Japan in APCAPS; BF‐220; Tanita, Tokyo, Japan in NaIS). Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as weight (kg) divided by the square of the height (m). HGS was recorded with the participant in a standing posture, his/her arm extended in a natural position. The handgrip dynamometer was adjusted for the participants so that their second proximal phalanxes were positioned around the handle. The HGS was measured in both hands and the maximum score of all records by both sides was considered for analysis. HGS was measured in the APCAPS group by a Lafayette Hand‐held Dynamometer 78010, (Lafayette Instrument Company, Lafayette, Indiana, USA) (four readings), and in the NaIS group by a Smedley Dynamometer 0‐1019‐01, (Matsumiya Ika Seiki Seisakujo, Tokyo, Japan) (two readings).

The weight of children was measured to the nearest 0.1 kg using a portable electronic weighing scale (TANITA Corporation Japan, model HD-305). Recumbent length of children less than two years of age and height for children aged between 2 to 5 years was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm using a locally made height and length board. All anthropometric measurements were performed following WHO guidelines [46 ]. WHZ was calculated according to the WHO growth standards [1 ].

At the fourth survey sweep, interviewers weighed the children, without shoes or outdoor clothing, using Tanita HD-305 scales (Tanita UK Ltd, Middlesex, UK) and weights were recorded in kilograms to one decimal place. Heights were obtained by the Leicester Height Measure Stadiometer (Seca Ltd, Birmingham, UK) and recorded to the nearest millimetre. Childhood overweight (including obesity) was defined by the International Obesity Task Force cut-offs for BMI [20 (link)] and is age and sex standardised.

Physical Development Measures in Childhood

The MCS contains information on the following physical development variables: weight, height, body fat mass, and waist circumference. Body fat mass is a measure of overall fat, whereas waist circumference, of central fat in the body. The measures are taken by trained interviewers. Weight and percentage fat mass are measured using the Tanita HD-305 or BF-522W scales, height using a Leicester stadiometer, and waist circumference using a SECA tape calibrated in millimetres. Weight is measured at each wave, but the other outcomes are not: body fat is measured in waves 4 and 5, and waist circumference in waves 3 and 4. BMI is calculated using the height and weight measures and is available in waves 2 to 5.
Using these pieces of information as well as child gender and age in months, we derive the genderand age-adjusted weight-, BMI-, body fat-, and waist-for-age z-scores, employing the "zanthro" Stata function with the British 1990 growth chart. 15 This enables us to obtain comparable values across sexes and ages. We complement these variables with a dichotomic variable for whether the child is overweight (including obese). This dummy is created using the "zbmicat" Stata function, which employs the BMI cutoffs recommended by the Childhood Obesity Working Group of the International Obesity Taskforce (IOTF).

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.
