| Waist measurement - Antropometric Measurements | 4 weeks | Waist measurement is measured from the narrowest area between the subcostal region and the iliac crest. |
| Abdomen measurement - Antropometric Measurements | 4 weeks | Abdomen measurement is measured at the level of the umbilicus without compression of the tissues. |
| The hip measurement - Antropometric Measurements | 4 weeks | The hip measurement is measured from the thickest part of the hip area. |
