A simplified example is the standardization of clothing: clothes sizes are standardized measurements, but still miss out the details that in some case may cause a bad fit.
Two studies used standardized measurements to identify reduced physical ability, measuring exercise and functional capacity [ 17] and completing a Short Physical Performance Battery [ 16] test.
Fortunately, FFDM will allow for automated measures of both area and volumetric density, which could provide highly standardized measurements with appropriate calibration.
Furthermore, common databases (e.g., car paints) are built up, with all participants taking part of the load in supplying reference samples and information as well as making standardized measurements.
The dominance factor, formidability, includes standardized measurements of subjects' fat-free mass, standing physical stature (height), and mid-arm circumference (Chronbach's alpha = 0.94).
Metabolic risk was assessed using a composite z-score integrating standardized measurements of blood pressure, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, triglycerides and fat mass.
As homologous landmarks were ambiguous, we selected standardized measurements that were reproducible for most species (Fig. 1).
By analyzing hormone receptor status centrally, we have provided standardized measurements for all tumors in the study.
We standardized measurements for each phenotype to have mean 0 and SD 1 so that their values are roughly in the same range across phenotypes.
Brains had standardized measurements of brain weight (grams), postmortem interval (PMI, hours between death and placement of brain in a cold room or upon ice).
