DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2022-061809
Abstract: Objective Adults 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… read more here.
