“…Populational surveys verified only the underestimation of the prevalences of overweight and obesity using self-referred measures 11,12 . Similar situation was observed in a rural area of Brazilian Northeast region, in which the majority of the individuals did not know their weight and height, especially among the elders 27 . This study found a regular agree-ment between self-referred and diagnosed obesity, which reinforces the need of the measurement of the anthropometrical characteristics for the obesity diagnosis in the elders living in rural areas.…”

“…Outros estudos com trabalhadores 11,14,18 e com a população em geral 26,[30][31][32][33] corroboram os resultados de superestimação de altura em mulheres. A superestimação entre trabalhadores mais velhos também foi encontrada em um estudo com trabalhadores 11 e em outros com populações em geral 23,25,[30][31][32]34,35 . Já a superestimação associada à menor escolaridade corroborou dados da população em geral, destacando que estudos estratificados por sexo mostraram que mulheres com menor escolaridade superestimavam mais sua altura do que homens 10,22,30,31 .…”
