通过将报告体重与 2 个国家（美国和丹麦）8 个不同医疗和非医疗场所的 1302 名受试者的测量体重进行比较，评估了自我报告体重的准确性，这些受试者的年龄、性别和体重测量的目的不同。在美国样本中，即使在肥胖人群中，自我报告的体重在所有这些变量中都非常准确，并且可能消除在流行病学调查中测量体重的需要。丹麦的报告不太准确，尤其是 40 岁以上的女性。
The accuracy of self-reported weights was assessed by comparing reported weights with measured weights of 1302 subjects at 8 different medical and nonmedical sites across 2 countries (USA and Denmark), across ages, sexes and different purposes for the weight measurements. Self-reported weights were remarkably accurate across all these variables in the American sample, even among obese people, and may obviate the need for measured weights in epidemiological investigations. Danish reports were somewhat less accurate, particularly among women over 40 yr of age.
