Height measurements were obtained using a measuring board.
Length for children aged less than 24 months was measured using a measuring board (Shorr Productions, LLC, Maryland, US) while height for those aged 24 months or more was measured using a height board (Seca 213, Seca GmbH, Germany).
Child anthropometric measures are obtained within 24 h of delivery, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year postpartum and include measured weight on a calibrated scale, length using a measuring board, waist and head circumference, and subscapular (SS) and triceps (TR) skinfold thicknesses.
Height was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm using a measuring board, taking care to measure length for children less than 2 years of age.
Height was measured to the nearest 1 millimeter using a measuring board, taking care to measure length for children less than 2 years of age.
The length of the child was measured supine using a measuring board (Seca Model 416).
Children older than 2 years were measured in a standing position using a measuring board.
Neonatal length and weight were determined using a measuring board and a calibrated scale.
Children 0 59 months were weighed using scales fitted with a digital screen and measured for height using a measuring board.
