“…5 Para determinar a classe socioeconômica, foi utilizado o Critério de Classificação Econômica Brasil (CCEB), estabelecido pela Associação Brasileira de Antropologia e Associação Brasileira de Empresas de Pesquisa (ABEP) 6 , e posteriormente agrupados em classe econômica alta e baixa. 7 Foram coletados dados de altura, índice de massa corporal (IMC), circunferência do braço (CB), prega cutânea tricipital (PCT) e circunferência mus-cular do braço (CMB). O peso seco, obtido logo após a sessão de HD, foi aferido em balança eletrônica da marca Filizola®, com capacidade de 150 Kg e precisão de 100 g. A altura foi obtida por meio de um estadiômetro acoplado à balança, com capacidade para 1,90 m e precisão de 1 mm, conforme a técnica de Lohman et al .…”
