Variable analysis
- None explicitly mentioned
- Height (measured to the nearest millimeter)
- Weight (measured to the nearest 100 g)
- BMI (calculated by dividing weight in kg by height in m^2)
- Subcutaneous fat (SCF) (measured as the transversal edge to edge distance between the skin and the linea alba, just above the belly button)
- Waist circumference (measured to the nearest millimeter in the middle between the costal margin and the iliac crest)
- Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) (calculated and multiplied by 100)
- Fat mass (determined by arm-to-leg bioelectrical impedance analysis)
- Fat percentage (calculated)
- Age of the children (11-12 years)
- Use of a Leicester portable height measure (Seca, Hamburg, Germany) to measure height
- Use of a Marsden Ms-4102 weighing scale (Oxfordshire, UK) to measure weight
- Use of the plaque protocol setting of the automated ultrasound Panasonic Cardio Health Station V1.8 (Diagnostic Ultrasound System GM-72P00A) to measure subcutaneous fat
- Use of a Seca measuring tape to determine waist circumference
- Use of the Bodystat 1500 MDD machine (Bodystat Inc, Douglas, UK) for arm-to-leg bioelectrical impedance analysis
- None mentioned
- None mentioned

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.
