“…The present survey also demonstrated under-reporting of height across all age and gender groups. The result is similar to Enes et al [ 14 ], but differs to most other studies that show either over-reporting of height by adolescents [ 11 , 15 17 ] or no consistent bias in height values [ 10 , 18 , 22 , 36 , 37 ]. In the present study, as well in previous studies, the bias of height through self-reporting is relatively small and unstable as compared to bias of weight values.…”

“…As a result, the suitability of using BMI sr to estimate the prevalence remains controversial. Some studies have suggested that BMI sr should be used with caution (28,37,40,41) and a correction should be applied to the self-reported data (27,29,31,34,39,(41)(42)(43)(44)(45) , or not to use BMI sr at all (32,33,46,47) . On the other hand, there are also studies supporting the validity of BMI sr use in epidemiological studies for children and adolescents (18,24,35,36,38) .…”

O Critério de Classificação Econômica Brasil leva em consideração a posse de itens e o grau de instrução do chefe da família, classificando as famílias nas classes A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, D e E.…”
