Anthropometric Assessment of Adolescents

Anthropometry (height and weight) at 17 years of age was assessed using a stadiometer (SECA 213, Birmingham, United Kingdom) and body mass (kilogram) using electronic weighing scales (Marsden M-110, Rotherham, United Kingdom) (1 (link), 7 (link)). Body composition (total fat mass and lean mass) was assessed using a dual-energy Xray absorptiometry (GE Medical Systems, Madison, WI, United States) scanner as earlier described (1 (link), 7 (link)). We calculated body mass index by dividing weight by squared height.

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.
