Intervention(s)
This will be a cross-sectional study. All participants will be asked to attend a testing session, where their anthropometric indices, body composition, bone health (optional), energy expenditure and blood profile (optional) will be collected at a single time point. The testing session will last a maximum of 2 hours and 20 minutes.
Primary Outcome(s)
Composite primary outcome: Anthropometric indices including height (stadiometer), weight (Tanita BC-418), skinfolds (Holtain skinfold calipers) circumferences (Lufkin PM606 anthropometric tape), lengths (segmometer), and breadths (sliding caliper). [At baseline]
Secondary Outcome(s)
Fasting blood glucose concentration will be measured by finger-prick method using the Hemocue. A venous blood sample will be collected to measure insulin and lipid profile using the COBAS 4000 analysers (optional). [At baseline]
Basal metabolic rate will be measured via indirect calorimetry using a ventilated hood system with the participant resting supine following a 10 hour overnight fast.[At baseline]
Body composition such as fat mass, fat free mass, and total mass will be measured using BODPOD Body Composition Tracking System and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). [At baseline]
Bone health such as bone mineral density and bone mineral content will be measured using DEXA scan (optional). [At baseline]
