Height and weight were measured according to the WHO steps procedure. A stadiometer (Seca Germany) was used to measure the height of the study participants to the nearest 0.1 cm with the subjects positioned at the Frankfurt Plane and the four points (heel, calf, buttocks, and shoulder) touching the vertical stand of the stadiometer and their shoes taken off. Before starting the measurement, the stadiometer was checked using calibration rods. It was measured three times and the average was taken.
An electric-powered digital scale (Seca Germany) was used to measure the weight to the nearest 0.1 kg with the subjects wearing light clothes and without shoes. Before starting the measurements, the tools were calibrated. A stone of weight 15 kg was used to check the validity of the scale every morning. The weight was measured three times and the average was taken. The coefficient of variation within data collectors was calculated at the time of training and it was below 3%. BMI was calculated as the ratio of weight in kilograms (kg) to the square of height in meters (m2).

Anthropometric Measurements for BMI Calculation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Height was measured with 0.1 cm precision by means of a stadiometer (Seca, Hamburg, Germany) while the participants were standing upright against a stadiometer in bare feet. Weight was measured to the nearest 0.1 kg using a digital medical scale (Seca, Hamburg, Germany) while the participants were wearing light clothing without shoes. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in meters squared.

Body weight and height were measured for each participant and their body mass index (BMI) was calculated as weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared (kg/m2). Height was recorded to the nearest 1 cm using a stadiometer (Seca Stadiometer, Seca Ltd., Birmingham, UK) and weight was recorded using a balance (Seca Stadiometer, Seca Ltd., Birmingham, UK) to the nearest 0.1 kg (18 ). All the precaution requirements implemented by UAEU and by Federal Government of UAE were performed on the participants, which included checking body temperature prior to entering nutrition clinics, physical distancing and space capacity. In addition, a valid negative test for COVID-19 for 30 days.

Anthropometric Measurements for Child and Mother

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Trained research staff conducted all anthropometric assessments for child and mother and were re-certified based on video review by a pediatrician on a yearly basis. Children were weighed using a Seca Baby Scale Model 334. Child length was measured recumbent using a Seca Infantometer Model 417. Mothers’ weight was measured using a Detecto DR-550C scale and height was measured using a Seca 213/217 stadiometer. All measurements were taken twice and the average was calculated for use in analyses. For both children and mothers, if measurements were off by 0.5 centimeter or more for length/height, or by 0.1 kilogram or more for weight, participants were measured two additional times and the new average was calculated.

Measuring Growth and Weight Status in Children

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The weight and height of children were measured by trained research staff using a Detecto DR-550C scale (calibrated weekly) and Seca 213/217 stadiometer. Children were measured twice and if measurements differed by more than 0.1 kg (for weight) or 0.5 cm (for height) two more measurements were taken. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated, and weight status calculated as overweight (BMI ≥ 85% for age and sex) vs. not overweight (BMI < 85% for age and sex) based on the US Centers for Disease Control reference growth curves (Kuczmarski et al., 2002 ).

Participants’ weight and height were measured to the nearest 0.01 kg and 0.1 cm, respectively, on an electronic scale with stadiometer (Seca, Hamburg, Germany) according to the standardized procedures [20 ]. A whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (Hologic Explorer-W, Waltham, USA) was used to estimate total body fat.

Anthropometric Measures in School-aged Children

Anthropometric data included stature, body mass, skinfolds (triceps and subscapular) and girth measurements (waist and hip girths), taken according to the standard procedures as prescribed by the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK) [32 ]. Body mass was measured to the nearest 0.1 kg with an Omron (BF 511) electronic scale and body stature was measured to the nearest centimeter (cm) with a SECA stadiometer. The skinfolds were measured with a Harpenden skinfold caliper and the girth measurements with a Girths Lufkin non-extensible flexible steel anthropometric tape, both to the nearest 0.1 cm. The BMI of each of the participants was calculated using the two mean measurements weight kg/height m2. Children were classified in normal weight, overweight and obese categories using international age and gender adjusted BMI cut-off points provided by Cole and colleagues [33 (link)] for school-aged children and adolescents. All the measurements were taken by ISAK level 2 accredited anthropometrists in a private room.

Longitudinal Anthropometric and Physical Activity Assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Anthropometric data of the participants were collected by the study staff at baseline and 12 months, specifically weight was measured to the nearest 0.5 Kg using a Seca scale (Seca 761) while height to the nearest 1 cm using a Seca stadiometer. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated using the formula weight (kg)/height (m2).
Physical activity level was assessing using a step counter (Omron Walking Style IV) provided by study staff prior to the baseline visit. Participants wore the step counter for at least 7 days before each visit. Four categories of activity were identified: sedentary (<5000 steps/day), low activity (5000 < 7500 steps/day), medium activity (7500 < 10,000 steps/day) and high activity (≥10,000 steps/day) [24 (link)].

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Height was measured, while participants were standing, unshod, with their shoulders in a normal position, using a stadiometer (Seca, Hamburg, Germany), and was recorded to the nearest 0.5 cm. Next, while subjects were minimally clothed and unshod, weight was measured with the use of a digital scale (Seca, Hamburg, Germany) and recorded to the nearest 100 g. Obesity and overweight were defined as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 and 25 ≤ BMI ≤ 29.9 kg/m2, respectively. BMI was calculated as weight divided by height squared (kg/m2).

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.
