“…A recent study in The Netherlands using two online screening tools found that approximately 57% of community-living older adults were at risk of malnutrition, thus, concluding that this easy access online screening could be useful to reach older adults at nutritional risk and could therefore, contribute to early identification and prevention [41]. Another recently published study by Elia et al used a device with sonic height measurement for nutritional self-screening of gastrointestinal outpatients, finding excellent agreement between HCPs screening and self-screening [42].…”

“…Participants' body weight and heights were measured with the least possible clothing and barefooted using a stadiometer with the accuracy of 100 grs and 0.5 cm (Seca, Hamburg, Germany). Height was recorded while the individuals' heads were in Frankfurt position [ 17 ]. In addition, WC was measured at the midpoint of the abdomen located between the 12 th rib and the iliac crest using a nonstretching measuring tape [ 18 ].…”

Obesity, as the most common metabolic disorder in the world, is characterized by excess body fat. This study is aimed at determining the effects of melatonin supplementation on body weight, nody mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and body fat mass percentage (BFMP) in people with overweight or obesity. Thirty eight overweight or class-I obese adult individuals were recruited in the study (8 men and 30 women). Participants prescribed a weight-loss diet and then randomly were allocated to melatonin or placebo groups. Participants received either a 3-milligram melatonin or placebo tablet per day for 12 weeks. In order to assess differences at the significance level of 0.05, repeated measure ANOVA and paired t -test were used. According to the results, a significant reduction was found in participants’ body weight, WC, and BMI in both groups ( p = 0.001 ). However, for the last six weeks, significant reductions of these parameters were observed only in the melatonin group ( p = 0.01 ). The BFMP of participants in the melatonin group showed a significant reduction at the end of the study compared to the initial measurements ( p = 0.008 ). Nevertheless, the results of the present study alone are not sufficient to conclude on the effects of melatonin consumption on anthropometric indices, and it seems that further studies are required in this regard.

“…In this study, the body weights and heights of participants were measured by a stadiometer (Seca, Germany, Model No: 222) with the accuracy of 0.1 kg and 0.1 cm while the individuals were in light clothes, barefooted, and kept their heads in Frankfurt position (Elia, Cawood, Akbar, & Smith, 2019). Moreover, a non-stretchable measuring tape was used to measure the waist circumference (Taylor, Keil, Gold, Williams, & Goulding, 1998).…”

This study aimed to investigate the health‐related effects of microencapsulated fermented garlic extract (FGE) containing dark chocolate in hypertensive adults. For this purpose, 36 hypertensive adults (15 males vs. 21 females) were randomized to receive the FGE (5 g/day) dark chocolate containing 650 mg of FGE powder or the placebo. Intervention periods lasted for 6 weeks and were separated by a 3‐week wash‐out period. The response variables included blood pressure, anthropometric indices, lipid profile, and inflammatory and oxidative stress indices. Statistical analyses were performed using the Pkcross procedure, and Cohen's d was estimated for all response variables. There was no significant inter‐period difference between the mean changes of body weight, waist circumference, and body mass index (BMI). Furthermore, no significant change was confirmed in participants' blood pressure, triglycerides, total cholesterol, low‐density lipoprotein (LDL), high‐density lipoprotein (HDL), very low‐density lipoprotein (VLDL), serum homocysteine, high‐sensitive c‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP), malondialdehyde (MDA), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). It seems that the dose of FGE used in this study was not sufficient to cause any significant changes in the outcomes. Therefore, further studies with dose–response designs and longer durations are recommended.
