measure Children's Body Image Scale
Study: Generation R Mode of collection: SelfAdministeredQuestionnaire Available measurements: Generation R 9-10 years 13-14 yearsThe Children's Body Image Scale consists of seven gender-specific figures in ascending order of adiposity, which correspond with actual sex-adjusted body mass index (BMI) categories, including underweight, normal weight, overweight and obesity. Using figures, children are asked to indicate to which figure their body looks most similar, and to indicate...Created October 17, 2024 • Updated October 20, 2024 -
measure Waist and hip circumference
Study: TRAILS Mode of collection: MeasurementsAndTests Anthropometrics/Body measures Available measurements: Population cohort POP - T3 POP - T4 POP - T5
Clinical cohort CC - T3 CC - T4 CC - T5Waist and hip circumference were assessed using a tape measure.Created October 17, 2024 • Updated October 20, 2024 -
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
