Abstract: The article describes assessments and measurements performed in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study for Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). Some assessments including anthropometric assessment, casual blood pressure measurement, and anklebrachial index have an established clinical application while others including pulse wave velocity, heart rate variability, and carotid intima-media thickness have no established application and do not have reference values for healthy Brazilian population but may be important predictors… Show more

“…The detailed protocol for cIMT measurements was published previously 27, 28, 29. The cIMT was measured at all centers using a Toshiba (Aplio XG) ultrasound device with a 7.5‐MHz linear transducer in the outer wall of a predefined carotid segment of 1 cm in length from 1 cm below carotid bifurcation, during 3 cardiac cycles.…”

“…In the current study, ABI was measured with an automated device rather than the mercury column 28. Three systolic blood pressure measurements were taken with the participant in the supine position at each ankle, alternating between right and left ankles every 2 minutes.…”

“…The anthropometric parameters (weight, height, and waist and hip circumferences) were measured using standard equipment and techniques, which are described elsewhere 20. Weight and height were used to calculate body mass index (BMI), and waist (WC) and hip circumferences were used to calculate waist‐to‐hip ratio.…”

“…cf‐PWV was measured using a validated automatic device (Complior; Artech Medicale, Paris, France) with the subjects in the supine position in accord with the ELSA‐Brasil protocols 20. Initially, BP was taken in the right arm with the participant in the supine position using an oscillometric device (HEM Omron 705CP).…”

“…The study activities take place at local site facilities in especially designated areas. All six sites have conducted subject recruitment, 2 interviews, 10 medical assessments, 6,15 and biological sample collection, analysis, storage and transport. 13,17 They also follow up subjects according to the guidelines set forth by the Clinical Outcome Committee (COC).…”
