measure Bio-electrical impedance
Study: TRAILS Mode of collection: MeasurementsAndTests Anthropometrics/Body measures Available measurements: Population cohort T3
Clinical cohort T3Assessment of body fat using bio-electrical impedance. Voltage measurements of weak electric currents that are send through the body are used to estimate total body water (as a proxy for muscle mass which contains a lot of water) and, by difference with body weight, body fat (which hardly contains water).Created March 28, 2023 • Updated March 28, 2023 -
measure Lung capacity
Study: TRAILS Mode of collection: MeasurementsAndTests Biological sample/measurement Available measurements: Population cohort T3
Clinical cohort T3Assessment of lung capacity using the peak flow test. The lung capacity is the amount of air that can be expelled from the lungs after a maximum inhalation. Includes lung capacity at rest and after the shuttle run test (indication of Asthma).Created March 28, 2023 • Updated March 28, 2023 -
measure Shuttle run test
Study: TRAILS Mode of collection: MeasurementsAndTests Biological sample/measurement Available measurements: Population cohort T3
Clinical cohort T3Validated assessment of physcial fitness. The participants have to continuously run between two lines that are twenty meters apart and reach the lines before a recorded beep. Includes performance, heart rate, heart rate variability, and lung capacity.Created March 28, 2023 • Updated March 28, 2023 -
measure Skinfold thickness
Study: TRAILS Mode of collection: MeasurementsAndTests Biological sample/measurement Available measurements: Population cohort T1 T3 T4
Clinical cohort T1 T3 T4Assessment of body fat. Skinfold thickness can noninvasively and reliably be measured at various sites of the body using a skinfold caliper. Based on measurements at multiple sites of the body, the total body fat and contribution of fat to the body mass can be estimated.Created March 28, 2023 • Updated March 28, 2023 -
measure Skinfold thickness
Study: NTR Mode of collection: MeasurementsAndTests Biological sample/measurement Available measurements: Young Netherlands Twin Register YE_COG18Assessment of body fat. Skinfold thickness can noninvasively and reliably be measured at various sites of the body using a skinfold caliper. Based on measurements at multiple sites of the body, the total body fat and contribution of fat to the body mass can be estimated.Created March 28, 2023 • Updated April 4, 2023 -
measure Waist and hip circumference
Study: TRAILS Mode of collection: MeasurementsAndTests Anthropometrics/Body measures Available measurements: Population cohort T3 T4 T5
Clinical cohort T3 T4 T5Assessment of waist and hip circumference using a tape measure.Created March 28, 2023 • Updated March 28, 2023
