Body weight and height were measured according to standard procedures. 40 body height was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm in bare or stocking feet with the child standing upright against a portable stadiometer (Seca 254 Hamburg, Germany). Body weight was measured to the nearest 0.10 kg, lightly dressed (and without diapers) using a portable electronic weight scale (Seca 254 Hamburg, Germany). 40, 42, 43 Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as weight(kg)/height(m) 2 and then BMI z-scores were then calculated by age and sex. Weight status (normal weight/overweight or obese) was determined according to the World Health Organization age and sex specific criteria. 44
Portable electronic weight scale

Body weight and height were measured according to standard procedures. 19 body height was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm in bare or stocking feet with the child standing upright against a portable stadiometer (Seca 254 Hamburg, Germany). Body weight was measured to the nearest 0.10 kg, lightly dressed (and without diapers) using a portable electronic weight scale (Seca 254 Hamburg, Germany). 19 BMI was calculated as weight(kg)/height(m2) and then BMI z-scores were then calculated by age and sex using the formula [BMI z-score = (participant's value -mean value of the sample)/standard deviation].
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.
