Body weight and height was measured using portable electronic scales (SECA, Germany) and stadiometer (Holtain, UK). BMI (kg/m²) was categorized according to the WHO guidelines³⁶ into underweight (BMI <18.5), normal weight (18.5≤ BMI <25), overweight (25 ≤ BMI <30) and obese (BMI ≥30). WC was measured at the smallest site between the lowest rib and the superior border of the iliac crest with flexible, non-stretchable measurement tape^{37 (link)}. WC was categorized as ‘normal’, ‘increased’ and ‘strongly increased’ according to international guidelines³⁸.

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.
