Participants completed a physiotherapist-administered questionnaire specifically designed to collect demographic data and medical history for this study. Previous and existing diseases (e.g., hypertension, heart disease, bronchial asthma, arthritis, surgical interventions, and autoimmune diseases), medications and supplements (such as Vitamin D), lifestyle factors (sports participation, diet, smoking, and alcohol and coffee consumption), and current physical activity level were determined using the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) [31 (link)]. The height of the participants was measured on a Seca medical stadiometer (Birmingham, UK) and their weight was checked on an Omron digital scale (Osaka, Japan).

Manufactured by Omron
Sourced in Japan
The Digital Scale is a precision measuring instrument used to determine the weight of objects. It displays the measured weight digitally, providing accurate and reliable readings.

Body weight and height (in a fasting condition, with light clothes and no shoes) were measured using Omron digital scale to the nearest 0.1 kg and a nonstretched wall-mounted tape measure to the nearest 0.1 cm, respectively. BMI was computed as the ratio of measured weight in kilograms to height in meters squared and waist circumference (WC) was measured using a non-stretchable tape measure to the nearest 0.5 cm.

Using the simple random sampling technique, the youngest child from each household, who matched the age criteria was selected. Data was collected using a semi-structured, pretested questionnaire in the local language (Marathi). The questions were validated for appropriateness of terms and sequence of questions. To assess the nutritional status of the children, standard anthropometric instruments were used; the length was measured using Seca portable infantometer close to 0.1cm (Model no: 416). The weight of the mother, while she carried her child, was recorded using Omron digital scale (Model no: HN283). The mother’s weight was recorded and subtracted from the combined weight of the mother and child to obtain the child’s weight. Weight was measured at close to 0.1kg. Mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC) of the upper left arm was measured, over bare skin, using Seca inextensible tape close to 0.1cm (Model No: 201). All anthropometric measurements were recorded in duplicates and their mean value was considered for the analysis. Technical errors of measurements were maintained within the standard limits (<0.1).

In addition to blood collection for the metabolomic study of losartan, conventional analytical tests were used performed to quantify albumin, creatinine, (lactic dehydrogenase) LDH, (aspartate aminotransferase) TGO, (alanine aminotransferase) TGP, glucose, insulin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and complete blood count. Body composition analysis was also performed using bioimpedance, with the aid of a digital scale (Omron Healthcare Co., Kyoto, Japan), obtaining weight, height, body mass index (BMI), % of body and visceral fat, % of skeletal muscle, and biological age. BP was measured using an automatic arm BP meter (Omron Healthcare Co., Kyoto, Japan).

The anthropometry dimensions were measured using a measuring tape, anthropometer device, Marcal digital caliper, and Omron digital scale, including age, weight, height, sitting height, leg length, foot length, foot surface area (FSA = 1.043 × foot-length × ball-girth) [22 (link)], ankle width, foot breadth, heel width, ankle circumference, thigh circumference, hip breadth [23 ,24 ], and navicular drop was measured using Brody Method [25 (link),26 (link)]. For measuring the navicular drop, participants were asked to sit in a relaxed position -hip and knee flexed at 90 degrees on a chair and place their barefoot on a firm supporting surface or on a box with 10 cm height (floor or step). The furthest protruding part of the medial navicular tubercle was marked, and then the distance from the ground to the marked navicular tubercle was measured with a plastic ruler. After that, participants were asked to stand with equal weight on both feet. The new distance was also measured. Afterward, the navicular drop was obtained by comparing measured values between the sitting and standing positions. Each measurement was conducted three times. Then, the mean was calculated.
Then, participants were classified into normal (within a range of 5 to 9 mm), flat arch (More and equal than 10 mm), and high arch (less and equal than 4 mm) foot groups based on the rate of the navicular drop [25 (link)].

Assessing Childhood Obesity Indicators

To calculate body mass index (BMI), students were weighed on a digital scale (Omron Corp, Kyoto, Japan) and a non-stretchable tape was used for height estimation. Both measurements were performed without any excessive clothing and shoes and recorded to the nearest 100 g and 0.5 cm, respectively. Based on the international obesity taskforce BMI reference cut-offs [17 (link)], two categories were defined: underweight/ normal weight subjects or overweight/obese children. Those with a waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) of ≥ 0.5 were defined as having abdominal obesity [18 (link)]. Authors also recorded the percent body fat (PBF) shown on the Omron BF511 body composition monitor (Omron Corp, Kyoto, Japan) to define adiposity risk as follows: PBF > 25% for boys and > 35% for girls aged 11 years and older [19 (link)].

Waist and hip circumferences were measured with a non-elastic anthropometric tape to the nearest 0.1 cm. The body mass was measured with an Omron digital scale to the nearest 0.1 kg, and the height was measured with a Holtain stadiometer to the nearest 0.1 cm. The body mass index (BMI) and the waist-to-hip ratio were calculated based on the mass and height (kg/m2) and the waist and hip circumferences, respectively.

Objective measurements of body mass and height were collected with participants’ barefoot and wearing light clothes. Body mass was obtained by a digital scale (OMRON HEALTHCARE Co., Ltd, Muko, Japan) with a maximum capacity of 180 kg and precision in 0.1 kg. The height was collected through a wall-mounted stadiometer (Wiso, Brazil) with a capacity of 2.2 m and precision in 0.1 cm. The values of body mass and height were used to calculate body mass index (BMI = body mass (kg)/height (m)2). For sample characterization, participants with BMI between 25 and 29.9 kg/m2 were classified as “overweight” and those participants with BMI equal or above 30 kg/m2 was classified as “obesity”, according to global classification for adult population21 .
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.
