Feel 4Diabetes是一项大规模、多中心的生活方式干预，旨在预防6个欧洲国家（比利时、保加利亚、芬兰、希腊、匈牙利和西班牙）弱势人群家庭中的2型糖尿病。本研究旨在描述人体测量（体重、身高和腰围）和血压（收缩压和舒张压）指标测量的协调和标准化过程，以及评估这些测量的观察者内和观察者间可靠性。方法在Feel 4Diabetes-Intervention的基线测量之前进行中心培训研讨会。每个干预国家的一名研究人员，以及12名成人和12名儿童（进行人体测量）和21名成人（进行血压测量）参加了这次讲习班。计算测量技术误差（TEM）和可靠性（%R），以评估用于评估Feel 4糖尿病干预结局的指标的可靠性。Feel 4Diabetes干预注册于（NCT 02393872）。结果儿童和成人所有人体测量的观察者内可靠性均高于99.5%。观察者间的可靠性被认为是高于98%的人体测量，而血压测量%R为76.62和91.38%，收缩压和舒张压测量，分别。结论Feel 4糖尿病干预的中心培训确保了在欧洲6个国家在3个不同时间点（基线、随访1和随访2）为Feel 4糖尿病干预的结局评价收集的数据是有效的和可比的。
Background Feel4Diabetes was a large-scale, multicenter lifestyle intervention aiming to prevent type 2 diabetes among families from vulnerable population groups in six European countries (Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, Greece, Hungary and Spain). The current study aimed to describe the process that was followed to harmonize and standardize the measurement of anthropometric (weight, height and waist circumference) and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) indices, as well as to assess the intra- and inter- observer reliability of these measurements. Methods A central training workshop was conducted prior to the baseline measurements of the Feel4Diabetes-intervention. One researcher from each intervention country, as well as 12 adults and 12 children (for the anthropometric measurements) and 21 adults (for the blood pressure measurements) participated in this workshop. Technical Error of Measurement (TEM) and reliability (%R) were calculated to assess the reliability of the indices which were assessed to evaluate the outcome of the Feel4Diabetes-intervention. The Feel4Diabetes-intervention is registered at (NCT02393872). Results Intra-observer reliability was found to be higher than 99.5% for all anthropometric measurements in both children and adults. Inter-observer reliability was found to be higher than 98% regarding the anthropometric measurements, while for blood pressure measurements %R was 76.62 and 91.38% for systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements, respectively. Conclusion The central training of the Fee4Diabetes-intervention ensured that the data collected for the outcome evaluation of the Feel4Diabetes-intervention in the six European countries at three different time points (baseline, follow-up 1 and follow-up 2) were valid and comparable.
