Body weight was measured with light clothing using digital scales (model 872, Seca) with 0.1 kg precision and height using stadiometers (Dyna-top, model E-l, Mexico) with 0.1 cm precision. WC was measured using fiberglass tape at the midpoint between the highest part of the iliac crest and the lowest part of the ribs margin of the median axial line(31 ). Trained personnel took the measurements using standard procedures(32 ; 33 (link)). We calculated BMI using the standard equation and categorized based on World Health Organization (WHO) definitions(34 ). Men and women with a WC ≥ 90 cm and ≥ 80 cm, respectively, were also categorized as having abdominal obesity, using as reference the classification by the International Diabetes Federation(35 (link)).
Model 872
Manufactured by Seca
Sourced in Mexico
The Model 872 is a high-precision digital scale designed for laboratory use. It features a sturdy construction and a large, easy-to-read display. The scale provides accurate measurements within a specified weight range and resolution.

Trained fieldworkers applied health and demographic questionnaires through direct interviews at households of eligible participants. Afterward, participants underwent anthropometric measurement by qualified anthropometrists (14 ). For weight determinations, Seca electronic scales (Hamburg, Germany) with a precision of 50 g (Model 872) or 100 g (Model 881) were used for both children and adults. Heights of children under 2 years were measured in a lying position using an "infantometer," and weights were taken in a standing position using the difference in kilograms of the mother with and without the child. The heights of children aged 2 to 5 years were measured using a stadiometer, and their weights were measured in standing position. Adult measurements were taken in a standing position. Instruments were periodically assessed for quality control. When scheduled, cross validation of measures between the local supervisor and the anthropometrist was conducted.

Self-reported diabetes status (yes/no) was defined from responses to the question: “Have you ever been told by a physician that you have diabetes or high sugar in your blood?”. Smoking status was self-reported and categorized as “current”, for study participants who reported smoking at least 100 cigarettes during their lifetime and having smoked during the last 30 days; “former”, for those who reported smoking at least 100 cigarettes during their lifetime and who did not currently smoke; and “never” for those who never smoked. Current alcohol consumption was self-reported and categorized as yes in participants reported consuming alcohol on at least one occasion in the last 12 months, and as not otherwise. Trained personnel obtained anthropometric measurements using standard procedures (Habitch, 1974 (link)). Body weight was measured with participants wearing light clothing using digital scales (model 872, Seca); stadiometers (Dyna-top, model E-1, Mexico) were used to measure height. We calculated the body mass index (BMI) using the standard equation and categorized the results into normal, overweight, and obese based on WHO classification (World Health Organization, 1995 ).
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.
