Each participant’s height and mass were recorded to calculate BMI (kg/m2). Height was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm whilst barefoot using a wall-mounted stadiometer (SECA; Vogel and Halke, Hamburg, Germany). Body mass was measured to the nearest 0.1 kg with participants wearing light clothing using the TANITA Ultimate Scale 2000 (Tanita Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).Waist and hip measurements were taken using a metric tape measure according ISAK international guidelines, as described by Norton and Olds [23 ] and the waist to hip ratio (WHR) was calculated. Participants had their percentage of body fat, fat mass (kg), abdominal fat (g) and lean mass (% and kg) assessed using DEXA (Lunar Prodigy, General Electric, Madison, WI, USA). Abdominal fat content was generated using Lunar Prodigy software from regional analysis of the DEXA scan to assess the region from the top of the iliac crest, with the lateral borders extending to the edge of the abdominal soft tissue, and the upper margin 20% above the pelvis between the pelvis and the neck borders.
Ultimate scale 2000
Manufactured by Tanita
Sourced in Japan
The TANITA Ultimate Scale 2000 is a precision laboratory scale designed for accurate weight measurement. It features a large weighing platform and a clear digital display. The scale is capable of weighing a wide range of items with a maximum capacity of 2,000 grams.

Each participant’s height and weight were recorded to calculate body mass index (BMI). Height was measured to the nearest 0·1 cm whilst barefoot using a wall-mounted stadiometer (SECA; Vogel & Halke, Hamburg, Germany). Body weight was measured to the nearest 0.1 kg with participants wearing light clothing using a TANITA Ultimate Scale 2000 (Tanita Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). Waist circumference was measured using a metric tape according ISAK international guidelines [15 ].

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 ].

Participants’ weight and height measurements were taken twice and averaged to calculate BMI to the nearest 0.1 kg/m2. Weight was measured to the nearest 0.1 kg using TANITA Ultimate Scale 2000 (Tanita Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) and height measured to the nearest 0.1 cm using a wall-mounted stadiometer (SECA; Vogel & Halke, Hamburg, Germany).

Comprehensive Body Composition Measurement

Participants were instructed to wear light clothing prior to testing and subsequently asked to remove their shoes for measurements. Body mass was measured to the nearest 100 g using an electronic scale (Tanita Ultimate Scale 2000; Tanita, Tokyo, Japan) and waist and hip circumferences recorded to the nearest 1 cm using a standard tape measure as previously described (Welborn et al. 2003 (link)). Height was recorded to the nearest 1 cm using a wall-mounted telescopic stadiometer (Seca220; Vogel & Halke, Hamburg, Germany). Height, body mass and waist and hip circumference measurements were measured in duplicate and the mean of the two measurements were analysed. Body mass index (BMI) and a waist-to-hip ratio were calculated as previously described (Welborn et al. 2003 (link); Keys et al. 1972 (link)). Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was measured to determine body composition of total lean mass, body fat percentage, and whole-body bone mineral content and density (Luna Corp Prodigy Advance Model GE; Madison, WI, USA).

Weight was measured to the nearest 200 g using an electronic scale (Tanita Ultimate Scale 2000; Tokyo, Japan) with subjects wearing light clothing and without shoes. Two measurements were taken with the average used. If measures differed by more than 1% a 3rd measure was taken. Height was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm using a wall-mounted telescopic stadiometer (Seca220; Vogel & Halke, Hamburg, Germany) with subjects in stockinged or bare feet and two measurements taken and the average used. Waist circumference was measured with a metal anthropometric tape measure (Lufkin W606PM, Cooper Tools, Apex, North Carolina, USA) at the natural waist or narrowest part of the torso to the nearest 0.1 cm with two measurements taken and the average used.

Participants were instructed to wear light clothing prior to testing and subsequently asked to remove their shoes for measurements. Body mass was measured to the nearest 100 g using an electronic scale (Tanita Ultimate Scale, 2000; Tokyo, Japan) and waist and hip circumferences was recorded to the nearest 1 cm using a standard tape measure as previously described (Welborn et al., 2003 (link)). Height was recorded to the nearest 1 cm using a wall-mounted telescopic stadiometer (Seca220; Vogel and Halke, Hamburg, Germany). Height, body mass and waist and hip circumference measurements were measured in duplicate and the mean of the two measurements were analyzed. BMI and a waist to hip ratio were calculated as previously described (Keys et al., 1972 (link); Welborn et al., 2003 (link)). Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to obtain the following measures of whole body composition: lean mass, body fat percentage, bone mineral content and density (Luna Corp. Prodigy Advance Model GE; Madison, WI, United States).

Demographic data collected included age, gender, lipid and blood pressure medication usage, education, socio-economic status, race/ethnicity (Classification from Australian Standard Classification of Cultural & Ethnic Groups 2016), employment and marital status All anthropometric assessments were conducted with participants wearing light clothing and barefoot. Body mass and percentage body fat were measured using calibrated electronic scales (Tanita Ultimate Scale 2000; Tokyo, Japan). Measures of height and waist circumference were assessed as described previously [40 (link)]. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated using Quetelet’s index: mass (kg)/height (m)2 [41 ]. All assessments were conducted twice with the average value used in analyses.
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.
