The INTERGROWTH-21st Project involved taking anthropometric measurements, including head circumference, recumbent length and weight of infants, and the stature and weight of parents. In a large, international, multicentre project, it is critical that all study sites follow standardised protocols to ensure maximal validity of the growth and nutrition indicators used. This paper describes, in detal, the selection of anthropometric personnel, equipment, measurement and calibration protocols used to construct the new INTERGROWTH-21st standards.

Makala hii ni sehemu ya archive ya mtandao wa habari muhimu ya utafiti. Makala hii imefungwa kwa maoni mapya kutokana na kutokuwa na shughuli. Tunakaribisha maudhui mapya ambayo yanaweza kufanywa kwa kuwasilisha makala kwa ajili ya ukaguzi au kushiriki katika majadiliano katika mada ya wazi au kuwasilisha chapisho la blogu kuchukua majadiliano yako mtandaoni. Intergroup 21st Project ilihusisha kuchukua vipimo vya anthropometric, ikiwa ni pamoja na mduara wa kichwa, urefu wa kulala na uzito wa watoto wachanga, na kimo na uzito wa wazazi. Katika mradi mkubwa wa kimataifa, wa vituo vingi, ni muhimu kwamba maeneo yote ya utafiti yafuatane na itifaki za kawaida ili kuhakikisha uhalali wa kiwango cha juu cha viashiria vya ukuaji na lishe vilivyotumiwa. Karatasi hii inaelezea, kwa undani, uteuzi wa wafanyakazi anthropometric, vifaa, kipimo na calibration itifaki kutumika kujenga mpya INTERGROWTH-21st viwango.
