In addition, individual data on health care consumption and associated cost were extracted from valid registers and the anthropometric measurements were measured by trained staff.
We do not believe that this was because of systematic errors in tympanic temperature measurements, as these were measured by trained nurses using standard thermometers.
Anthropometric measurements including weight, height, waist circumference, and blood pressure (BP) were measured by trained medical personnel.
Anthropometric measurements (including height, weight, WC, hip circumference and BF%) were measured by trained data collectors, using standard operating procedures.
Moreover, we used anthropometric variables that were directly measured by trained medical professionals rather than self-reported or self-measured anthropometrics.
Waist circumference in centimeters was measured by trained staff at each annual visit with a measuring tape placed around the participant at the narrowest part of the torso.
Data were self-reported to interviewers, except BMI and waist, which were measured by trained interviewers.
Children's heights and weights were measured by trained researchers, and used to calculate BMI z-scores.
While these parameters are quite easily measured by trained doctor, the whole complex should be evaluated.
Venous blood samples were stored at -20°C, and the creatinine content was measured by trained personnel at Aarhus University Hospital.
Body weight, height, and blood pressure were measured by trained research nurses.
