The subjects were conducted both before and after management. Following the guidelines of the International Biological Program, the height, weight, and skin fold thicknesses at 5 sites (triceps, biceps, subscapular, suprailiac, and abdomen) were assessed [11 ]. Confirming the subject dressed minimal clothes and without shoes, the subject’s height was measured with a Stadiometer portable scale to the nearest 0.1 cm, and their combined weight was calculated to the nearest 0.01 kg. For the purpose of choosing the sample, the body mass index (BMI), which is calculated as weight (in kilograms) divided by height (in meters squared), was determined. The Holtain skin fold caliper (Fig. 1 ) was used to measure the skin fold thicknesses, which were then estimated to within 0.1 mm. Additionally, using non-elastic measuring tape, the circumference of the waist, hips, and mid-upper arms was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm.![]()
Tanner whitehouse skinfold caliper
Manufactured by Holtain
Sourced in United Kingdom
The Tanner/Whitehouse Skinfold Caliper is a device used to measure the thickness of subcutaneous fat layers. It consists of two parallel jaws that gently pinch a fold of skin and the underlying fat, allowing the thickness to be measured accurately.

Before medical anamnesis at the exercise physiology laboratory, anthropometric measurements were collected in all participants, including weight (kg) and body fat percentage using an electronic scale TANITA BC-545N (TANITA Corp, Illinois 60005, USA), height (cm) using a manual scale (SECA, Hamburg 22089, Germany), and skinfolds (triceps, biceps, subscapular, and suprailiac) with a Holtain Tanner/Whitehouse skinfold caliper (Holtain Ltd. Crosswell, Crymych, Pembs., SA41 3UF, UK.). BMI (kg/m2) was calculated by dividing weight by the square of height in meters. Standard deviation (SD) scores were calculated for weight, height, and BMI according to the Spanish population standards recently published by Carrascosa et al. [17 (link)].

Height was measured using a fixed stadiometer (Seca216, Seca, Hamburg, Germany). Weight was recorded in underwear to the nearest 0.1 kg using a digital scale (Seca701, Seca, Hamburg, Germany). Skinfold measurements were performed in triplicates at clearly defined sites (suprailiac, subscapular, over the biceps and over the triceps; Tanner/Whitehouse skinfold caliper, Holtain, Crymych, UK) and the median was used to estimate the children’s fat free body mass [23 (link)].

Birth weight was obtained from hospital records. Other birth and subsequent (3, 12, and 24 months) anthropometry measures were performed by three trained paediatric research nurses. Weight was measured to the nearest 1 g using a Seca 757 electronic baby scale and length was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm using an Infantometer (SECA 416). Skinfold thickness was measured in triplicate at four sites (triceps, subscapular, flank, and quadriceps) on the left side of the body using a Holtain Tanner/Whitehouse Skinfold Caliper (Holtain Ltd).

Infant anthropometric indices were measured at each study visit except for weight at birth which was captured from maternity hospital records. Weight was measured to the nearest 1 g using a Seca 757 electronic digital scale (Seca, UK). Supine length was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm using a Seca 416 infantometer (Seca, UK). Skinfold thickness was measured at 4 sites (triceps, subscapular, flank, and quadriceps) using a Holtain Tanner/Whitehouse Skinfold Caliper (Holtain, UK).

Infants were measured by trained paediatric research nurses, with weight, length and skinfold thickness assessed in the newborn, and then at three and 12 months of age. Weight was measured to the nearest 1 g using a Seca 757 electronic baby scale (Seca, Birmingham, UK). Supine length was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm using a Seca 416 Infantometer (Seca, Birmingham, UK). BMI was then calculated.

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.
