Anthropometric measurements
Anthropometric and body composition measurements will be taken by trained data collectors using calibrated equipment according to international recommendations.
Weight: body weight will be measured using the calibrated scale (Seca 813, Hamburg, Germany), to the nearest 0.1 kg using a digital weighing scale with participants wearing light clothing.Height: Height will be taken to the nearest 0.1 cm, as the maximum distance to the uppermost position on the head from heels, with the individual standing barefoot and following full inspiration using a stadiometer (Seca 213 portable stadiometer).BMI: Based on the values of weight and height, BMI will be calculated.Mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC): The midpoint between the acromion and the olecranon process in the non-dominant arm will be marked when the right elbow is 90° flexed placing the forearm palm down across the trunk. The measurement will be taken using a plastic flexible tape (Seca 201, Germany) to the nearest 0.1 cm when the arm is extended alongside the body with the palm facing upwards.Calf circumference (CC): The largest circumference of the calf of the non-dominant leg will be measured using a plastic flexible tape (Seca 201, Germany) to the nearest 0.1 cm in a seated/supine position when the knee and hip are 90° flexed in the two lower limbs.
