Anthropometry

Anthropometric measurements include height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and body circumferences.

In NTR project YS2, growth data were obtained via the Youth Health Services for multiples and since 2010 also for siblings; paternal reports are available since 2014. In NTR project YS_10, anthropometry information was included since 2008. In NTR project YC_BS1, height and weight were also measured prior to MRI scanning. In NTR project YC_BS2, height and weight were also measured after MRI scanning and growth data was obtained via the Youth Health Services for multiples. In NTR project YC_DSC, birth height and weight were obtained during a telephone interview. In NTR project YE_FITNSS, anthropometrics were obtained at the beginning of the experimental protocol. In NTR projects YE_ATTEF2 and YE_ATTEF3, height and weight were measured at the end of the experimental protocol. In NTR project YC_ADHMRI, birth height and weight were obtained during a telephone interview and current height and weight prior to the MRI scanning. In NTR project YE_COG18, physical measurements including antropometric information were also obtained during the experimental protocol.
