2.2.2. Body Mass Index

Weight status was assessed via BMI (weight (kg)/height (m)2) [31]. After removing their shoes, the participants' height and weight were assessed using a SECA stadiometer (SECA, Chino, CA, USA) and SECA digital scale (SECA, Chino, CA, USA), which had been used in previous studies [32]. Weight status was defined as: normal weight: BMI = 18.5–24.99; overweight: BMI = 25–29.99; obese: BMI > 30 [31].
