目的：本研究旨在确定超重者对体重状况的感知是否随着超重/肥胖患病率的增加而发生变化。方法：比较NHANES III（1988-1994）和NHANES 1999-2004的超重参与者（BMI在25.0-29.9 kg/m2之间）对体重状况的感知。通过要求参与者将他们的体重分类为正确的体重，体重不足或超重来评估对体重状况的看法。跨年龄组的比较，性别，种族/民族和各种收入levels.Results：较少超重的人在NHANES 1999-2004年的调查认为自己超重时相比，超重的人在NHANES III调查。调查期间之间的扭曲的变化是最大的人与低收入，男性和非洲裔American.Conclusion：超重/肥胖之间的调查年（NHANES III和NHANES 1999-2004年）的增加一直伴随着较少的超重的人认为自己超重。
Objectives: This study seeks to determine whether perception of weight status among the overweight has changed with the increasing overweight/obesity prevalence.Methods: The perception of weight status was compared between overweight participants (BMI between 25.0-29.9 kg/m(2)) from NHANES III (1988-1994) and overweight participants from NHANES 1999-2004. Perception of weight status was assessed by asking participants to classify their weight as about the right weight, underweight or overweight. Comparisons were made across age groups, genders, race/ethnicities and various income levels.Results: Fewer overweight people during the NHANES 1999-2004 survey perceived themselves as overweight when compared to overweight people during the NHANES III survey. The change in distortion between the survey periods was greatest among persons with lower income, males and African-Americans.Conclusion: The increase in overweight/obesity between the survey years (NHANES III and NHANES 1999-2004 has been accompanied with fewer overweight people perceiving themselves as overweight.
