Height (SECA 216 Height Measuring Rod, SECA) and weight (TANITA Ultimate Scale 2000, Tanita Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) will be measured in duplicate and averaged to calculate BMI (weight (kg)/height (m)2). Waist circumference will be measured to the nearest 1 mm using a metal measuring tape as per the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry protocol [25 ].
216 height measuring rod
Manufactured by Seca
Sourced in Japan
The SECA 216 Height Measuring Rod is a device used to measure the height of individuals. It is a freestanding, mechanical tool that enables accurate height measurements. The product features a vertical scale in centimeters and increments of 1 millimeter, providing precise height readings.

Anthropometric assessments will be conducted with participants barefoot and wearing light clothing. Height will be measured twice to the nearest 1 mm using a stadiometer (baseline only) (SECA 216 Height Measuring Rod, SECA), and the average recorded. Body weight will be recorded to the nearest 100 g and will be measured twice on each occasion using calibrated electronic scales (SECA 703 Digital Column Scales, SECA). The average value will be calculated, and the same scales will be used throughout the intervention. BMI will be calculated as weight/height squared (kg/m2). Waist circumference will be measured at the narrowest point of the abdomen or, if there is no obvious narrowing, at the midpoint between the lower costal (10th rib) border and the iliac crest.38 Three measurements will be taken, and if they differ by more than 2%, a fourth measurement will be obtained. The mean of the measurements will be used for analysis. In addition, participants will be provided with scales (Withings/Nokia WBS06, Nokia) with Bluetooth capacity to monitor their weight at least twice per week at home and these data will be sent to research staff to assist with weight monitoring.
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.
