Weight and height were measured by seca scale (Hamburg Germany) and a stadiometer attached to the scale respectively. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from measurement height in meters and weight in kilograms. Waist circumference measurements made at the approximate midpoint between the lower margin of the last palpable rib and the top of the iliac crest. Hip circumference measurements have been taken around the widest portion of the buttocks and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) was determined.
