measure Skinfold thickness, waist and hip circumference
Study: Generation R Mode of collection: MeasurementsAndTests Anthropometrics/Body measures Available measurements: Generation R 6 weeks 6 months 1 year 2 years 3 years 4 yearsSkinfold thickness, waist and hip circumference were assessed as an indication of body fat. Skinfold thickness can noninvasively and reliably be measured at various sites of the body using a skinfold caliper. Based on measurements at multiple sites of the body, the total body fat and contribution of fat to the body mass can be estimated.Created October 17, 2024 • Updated October 20, 2024 -

measure Bio-electrical impedance
Study: TRAILS Mode of collection: MeasurementsAndTests Anthropometrics/Body measures Available measurements: Population cohort POP - T3
Clinical cohort CC - T3Bio-electrical impedance is an assessment of body fat. Voltage measurements of weak electric currents that are sent through the body are used to estimate total body water (as a proxy for muscle mass which contains a lot of water) and, by difference with body weight, body fat (which hardly contains water).Created October 17, 2024 • Updated October 20, 2024 -
