Height |
Stand up straight, measure two times in a row and ask about last year’s weight. |
Weight |
Take off the coat and other heavy clothes, repeat the measurement twice. |
Upper arm circumference |
Measure the circumference of the upper arm at the midpoint of the line between the shoulder and the elbow, repeat the measurement twice. |
Triceps skinfold thickness |
Use a cortical thickness gauge to measure the fat thickness at the midpoint of the shoulder and elbow joint, repeat the measurement twice. |
Calf circumference |
Keep leg upright, measure the circumference of the thickest part of the calf, repeat the measurement twice. |
Waist circumference |
Measure the waist circumference at a point 2 cm above the belly button, repeat the measurement twice. |
Hip circumference |
The circumference between the symphysis pubis and the most convex part of the back gluteus maximus, repeat the measurement twice. |
Knee height |
The length between the knee joint and the heel, repeat the measurement twice. |
Finger distance |
The length between the index fingers of both hands, repeat the measurement twice. |
Disease-related condition |
|
Blood pressure and pulse |
After sitting and resting for 2–5 min, start the measurement, record the diastolic and systolic blood pressure (electronic sphygmomanometer), and repeat the measurement twice. |
ECG bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) |
After confirming that there is no metal in the participant’s body, use INBODY S10 (BioSpace, Seoul, Korea) to measure the BIA data, enter the participant’s information into the host, adopt a sitting posture and connect all limbs with electrodes. No talking is allowed during the measurement. |
Gait speed (s/m) |
Measure the pace of the participants and calculate the pace (seconds/metre) at the start and end times of 3 segments of 4 m. |
Grip strength |
Ask the participant’s habit of using hands and test the grip strength of both hands twice. |
Balance test |
Participants were tested for balance in three stances, including feet side by side, staggered feet, and front and rear feet. Each stance held for 10 s was deemed qualified. |
Blood sugar |
Fingertip blood sugar test. |
Sit-up ability tests |
Participants hold their shoulders, complete 1 and 5 consecutive sit-up tests, respectively, and record the completion status (whether it can be completed and when it is completed). |
