A digital weight and height scale (Detecto, Webb City, MO, USA) was utilized to measure the body weight and standing height of each study participant while the participant was standing erect barefooted and wearing light clothes.
Digital weight and height scale

Standing height and bodyweight of the study participants were measured in a standardized manner, using digital weight and height scale (Detecto, Webb City, MO, USA) with the participants standing erect without shoes and wearing light clothes. BMI-for-age z-scores were calculated using WHO growth charts. Obesity was defined as BMI-for-age ≥ +3 Standard Deviation (SD), while overweight was defined as BMI-for-age > +2 SD and < +3 SD. Waist circumference (WC) was measured in the horizontal plane at the superior border of the right iliac crest to the nearest 0.1 cm with a non-stretchable tape by a trained data collector. Measurements were taken at the end of normal expiration; three readings were taken, and the average of the three was recorded. Care was taken to ensure that the tape was horizontal to the floor and touched the skin without compressing it. The ratio of waist circumference (cm) to height in centimeters (WC/Ht ratio) was calculated and the obesogenic waist was defined as a WC/Ht ratio of > 0.5 (37 (link)).

Standing height and bodyweight of the study participants were measured in a standardized manner, using digital weight and height scale (Detecto, Webb City, MO, USA) with the participants standing erect without shoes and wearing light clothes. Data on socioeconomic status and other covariates were collected from the parents through a self-administered questionnaire, and from the adolescents using face-to-face interview.

Information on demographic variables were collected from parents through a self-administrative questionnaire and from students through face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire (Supplementary material, Data Acquisition Tool ). Height and weight of each student was measured using a digital weight and height scale (Detecto, Webb City, MO, USA), with the students standing erect without shoes and wearing light clothes.

Study details have been described previously16 (link). In brief, an informed consent form, along with self-administered questionnaire with questions on various sociodemographic variables, were sent to the parents. Upon written consent from parents and verbal assent from the student, a trained interviewer conducted face-to-face interview with the student, using a carefully developed questionnaire that was pilot tested on 20 students who were not included in the study. The questionnaire included structured questions on topics, such as smoking, physical activity, and frequency per week of eating breakfast before going to school. Standing height and body weight of the study subjects were measured in a standardized manner, using digital weight and height scale (Detecto®, Webb City, MO, USA) with the students standing erect without shoes and wearing light clothes.

Standing height and bodyweight of the study participants were measured in a standardized manner, using a digital weight and height scale (Detecto: Webb City, MO, USA), with the participants standing erect without shoes and wearing light clothes. WHO growth charts were used to calculate BMI-for-age z-scores. Obesity was defined as BMI-for-age ≥+3 Standard Deviation (SD), while overweight was defined as BMI-for-age >+2 SD and <+3 SD.
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.
