Self-reported weight and height for evaluating obesity control programs.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the adequacy of self-reported weight and height as indicators for BMI in community-based obesity control programs. METHODS: Self-reported and measured weight and height and calculated BMI in 6979 adults were assessed using analysis of covariance. RESULTS: Prevalence of obesity...

      ab: OBJECTIVES: To assess the adequacy of self-reported weight and height as indicators for BMI in community-based obesity control programs. METHODS: Self-reported and measured weight and height and calculated BMI in 6979 adults were assessed using analysis of covariance. RESULTS: Prevalence of obesity (BMI > 25 kg/m(2)) and overweight (25-29.9 kg/m(2)) was lower using self-reported values by 3.2% and 5.0%, respectively. Females underreported BMI more than males did; and older subjects, more than younger subjects. CONCLUSIONS: Self-reported weight and height measurements may be used for the evaluation of community-based obesity control programs with the application of correction factors. This will minimize costs associated with physical measurements.
