ObjectiveAdults typically overestimate height and underestimate weight compared with directly measured values, and such misreporting varies by sociodemographic and health-related factors. Using self-reported and interviewer-measured height and weight, collected from the same participants, we aimed to develop a set of prediction equations to correct bias in self-reported height and weight, and assess whether this adjustment improved the accuracy of obesity prevalence estimates relative to those b...
