Anthropometric and Body Composition Measurements
CREST
Trained research associates measured participant anthropometry at baseline and six months later. Participants’ height and weight were measured with a rigid tape measure. Height was measured without shoes. Weight, total body fat, and visceral and skeletal muscle mass were measured using the Omron HBF-510 W Full Body Sensor Body Composition Monitor Scale after the removal of all heavy outer garments and the emptying of pockets. Waist circumference was measured at the widest point between the bottom of the rib cage, and the iliac crest and hip circumference was measured at the widest point of the hip. BMI was calculated as the ratio of weight (kg) to height (m
