measure Skinfold thickness
Study: TRAILS Mode of collection: MeasurementsAndTests Biological sample/measurement Available measurements: Population cohort POP - T1 POP - T3 POP - T4
Clinical cohort CC - T1 CC - T3 CC - T4Skinfold thickness is an assessment of body fat which 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 -
measure Length and weight
Study: TRAILS Mode of collection: MeasurementsAndTests Anthropometrics/Body measures Available measurements: Population cohort POP - T1 POP - T2 POP - T3 POP - T4 POP - T5 POP - T6 POP - T7
Clinical cohort CC - T1 CC - T2 CC - T3 CC - T4 CC - T5 CC - T6 CC - T7Length and weight assessment using a stadiometer and personal scale. Length and weight of partners were not measured, but self-reported.Created October 17, 2024 • Updated October 20, 2024 -
