Staff measured height and blood pressure using standardized protocols.
At each clinical examination, body mass index (weight [kg]/height squared [m]), waist circumference, and systolic blood pressure were measured using standardized protocols (18,19).
The RAVE trial serially collected whole blood that was assayed by flow cytometry using standardized protocols.
Blood was collected by venipuncture after an overnight fast and processed using standardized protocols at each collection site.
As previously described, waist circumference, blood pressure, and laboratory measures of triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, and glucose were obtained using standardized protocols and calibrated equipment (1).
Height, weight, BMI, WC, blood pressure (BP), and laboratory measures of triglycerides, HDL-C, and glucose were obtained using standardized protocols and calibrated equipment [ 29].
Whole blood had been obtained from these individuals during the RAVE study, and cell populations were analyzed by flow cytometry using standardized protocols.
Height and weight were measured using standardized protocols, and the women were asked to donate a urine sample (~ 20 mL) and blood samples (4 mL for separation of plasma).
The networks used different family designs and targeted multiple ethnic groups, using standardized protocols and definitions.
These were graded using standardized protocols.
