1977年，在评价心血管疾病预防方案时，东芬兰的11880人被要求在问卷上报告自己的体重。在接下来的临床检查中，每个参与者都被称重。根据性别、年龄、测量体重和体重指数(BMI)对自报体重数据进行分析。结果显示，与年轻人相比，老年人低估自己的体重的程度更大，无论男女。在较重的受试者中，测量的体重和自我报告的体重之间的误差比较瘦的受试者更大。在男女中，体重估计误差(测量体重减去自我报告的体重)与高BMI的相关性比与测量体重的相关性更强。使用多元回归模型研究了权重估计误差与其他变量之间的关系。家庭年收入低的男性比年收入高的男性更有可能低估自己的体重。总的来说，女性比男性更准确地报告自己的体重。年龄较大的女性比年轻女性更容易报告体重偏轻，而经常看医生或家庭年收入较高的女性比S就诊次数较少或家庭收入较低的女性更了解自己的实际体重。男性5.2%，女性8.3%的体重估计误差可用回归模型解释。居住在城市、最近试图减肥的受教育程度较高的女性在自我报告体重方面的误差比其他同龄女性和体重指数低的女性更大。
In 1977, in the evaluation of the prevention programme for cardiovascular diseases, 11880 persons in Eastern Finland were asked to report their own weight on a questionnaire. Each participant was weighed during the following clinical examination. The data of the self-reported body weight were analysed according to sex, age, measured weight and body-mass index (BMI). The results showed that older people underestimated their weight to a greater extent than did younger people of both sexes. The error between measured and self-reported weight was greater in heavier subjects than in thinner individuals. In both sexes weight estimate error (measured weight minus self-reported weight) correlated more strongly with high BMI than with measured weight. Associations between weight estimate error and other variables were studied using a multiple regression model. Men whose annual family income was low were more likely to underestimate their weight than the men with a high annual income. In general, women reported their weight more correctly than men did. Older women were more likely to report their weight less than younger women, whereas women who visited their doctor frequently or who had higher annual family incomes were more aware of their actual body weight than those who had few doctor''s consultations or whose family income was low. In men 5.2% and in women 8.3% of the variation in the weight estimate error was explained by the regression model. Women with higher education living in urban areas and who had recently attempted to reduce their weight had greater errors in their self-reported weight than did other women of the same age and BMI.
