Each subject was seen by the same physician (I.T.), who performed a physical
examination (including heart rate and sitting blood pressure measurements
[Erkameter 3000, Erka Kallmeyer GmbH & Co. KG, Bad Tolz, Germany] [the
mean of 3 measurements was used]) and anthropomorphic measures (weight,
waist circumference [WC], and hip circumference [HC]). Demographic information
was recorded, and body mass index (BMI) and WHR were calculated by the
physician.
