Weight change is the primary outcome measure. Weight (in kilograms) is measured in street clothes, without shoes, on a calibrated scale (Tanita BWB-800S). Height (in centimeters) is measured, without shoes, using a wall-mounted stadiometer (The Standard Stadiometer ™, Perspective Enterprises). BMI is calculated from these measures. As an indicator of subcutaneous and visceral fat in the abdominal region and a component of the Air Force fitness test, abdominal circumference is measured using a non-distensible measuring tape and standard protocols for positioning [25 ]. Resting blood pressure is measured using an Omron HEM-907XL IntelliSense Digital Blood Pressure Monitor and is represented as the mean of two measurements in which systolic blood pressure differed by 10 mm Hg or less and diastolic blood pressure differed by 6 mm Hg or less. Resting heart rate is measured using an Omron Digital Blood Pressure Monitor. All measures are taken in duplicate.

Systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure will be measured after the participant has rested for 5 min while seated. Blood pressure is taken twice within 5 min with the Omron® digital blood pressure monitor. A cuff size appropriate to the arm circumference of the participants will be chosen. Evidence for the validity of Omron® oscillometric blood pressure measurement devices has been reported previously [164 (link)]. Reductions in SBP and DBP of 2 mmHg are considered meaningful MCID scores [165 (link)]. Participants will be considered hypertensive if they have SBP scores of ≥ 140 mmHg and DBP scores of ≥ 90 mmHg [166 (link)].

Waist circumferences (WC) were measured at a medium level between the iliac crest and the lower margin of 12th rib by the trained clinician. Diastolic and systolic blood pressure (BP) readings were taken from the right upper arm in a sitting position with a digital blood pressure monitor (Omron, Kyoto, Japan) after a 10-min rest.

At baseline, the height of study participants was measured using a Seca 202 device at the assessment centre (field ID: 12144-0.0), body mass index was derived manually from measures of standing height and weight (field ID: 21001.0.0), systolic blood pressure was measured using an automated reading from an Omron Digital blood pressure monitor (field ID: 4080-0.0). Educational attainment was defined as in a previous study 47 , using questionnaire data on qualifications to estimate the number of years spent in full-time education (field ID: 6138). Coronary artery disease cases were diagnosed using International Classification of Disease (10 th edition) (ICD10) and Operating Procedure System (OPS) codes from either hospital events (Hospital Episode Statistics) or underlying cause of death from the death register.
The following ICD10 (I21, I22, I23, I24, I25, Z955) and OPS codes (K40-K46, K471, K49, K50, K75) 48 were used to classify diseased cases.

Weight was measured to the nearest 0.5 kg using a scale with minimal clothing. Height was measured to the nearest 0.5 cm using a non-elastic meter while participants stood barefoot with their shoulders in a neutral position. Waist circumference (WC) was measured at a level midway between the lower rib margin and the iliac crest with a tape measure, and hip circumference was measured at the point of maximum circumference over the buttocks using a non-elastic meter.11 (link) Trained nurses measured blood pressure using the standard protocol defined by the Joint National Committee (JNC-8). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were recorded as the average of the two measures of the first and fifth Korotkoff phases using Omron digital blood pressure monitor.12 (link)

HR, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured by a digital blood pressure monitor (Omron). Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) was measured by a finger clip oxygen saturation tester (Heal Force).
The saliva of the subjects was collected by EP tube and centrifuged at 8,000 rpm, 4°C for 10 min. The supernatant was collected and stored at −80°C. A human cortisol Elisa kit (Elabscience, China) was used to evaluate the cortisol content in the saliva. All operations were carried out strictly according to the instructions of the kit.

Pre-post intervention data on the biochemical variables (TC, HDL, LDL, and TG), physiological variables (BMI and body weight) and cardiovascular variables (SBP and DBP) were collected with standardize instruments. Mindray chemistry analyzer (BS 120, Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics Co., Ltd., Shenzhen, China) was used to analyze the lipid profiles (TC, HDL, LDL, and TG). Digital blood pressure monitor (Omron Healthcare Co. Ltd., Kyoto, Japan) was used for physiological measurements: heart rate (HR), SBP, DBP of subjects from left arm; and weight of participants in kg. Health-O-meter (model BSM 370, Biospace China Inc., Shanghai, China) was used to measure height in meters. BMI in kg/m2 was calculated using the values of weight (kg) and height (m) – formula: weight/(height)2. Data collection form (researcher’s own construct) was used to collect demographic information (age, marital status, and gender, diagnosis and duration of illness) of participants, physiological profiles (HR, SBP, and DBP), drug history (duration of medication and specific drug used) and anthropometric measurements (weight, height, and BMI). We collected preintervention data on a Saturday proceeding the Monday of the week of the commencement of CET and kept as a baseline data. At the Saturday of the last week of the CET, post data collection was carried out.

Blood pressure was measured with a digital blood pressure monitor (Omron Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). This automated, electronic, oscillometric device is validated for use in pregnancy23 (link) and was calibrated throughout the study. The brachial artery of the non-dominant arm was used for the blood pressure recording. Care was taken to ensure that the arm was free of clothing and that appropriate cuff size was used depending on mid-arm circumference. Blood pressure was recorded whilst the patient was seated comfortably and silently, with the arm supported at the level of the heart. The woman was asked to sit upright and still, with her back well supported, legs uncrossed and feet flat on the floor. Three readings were taken one minute apart and the mean average was calculated.

Systolic blood pressure was measured twice, a few moments apart, using the Omron Digital blood pressure monitor. A manual sphygmomanometer was used if the Digital blood pressure monitor could not be employed (N = 6652). Systolic blood pressure was calculated as the average of measures at the two time points (for either automated or manual readings). Individuals with a history of coronary artery disease were excluded from the analysis (N = 2513). Following the recommendation by Tobin, et al.27 (link), 15 mmHg was added to the average systolic blood pressure of individuals taking antihypertensive medication (N = 10 988). Individuals with a systolic blood pressure (after correcting for medication) more than 4 SD from the mean were excluded from future analyses (N = 75). After all exclusions, 106 759 individuals remained with valid blood pressure and genetic data.

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.
