Validação do peso e altura referidos para o diagnóstico do estado nutricional em uma população de adultos no Sul do Brasil

Abstract: This study evaluated the accuracy of body mass index (BMI) based on self-reported weight and height for predicting adult nutritional status. In a cross-sectional study of 3,934 adults (> 20 years) in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, a sub-sample of 140 individuals was drawn and weight and height were measured. From the comparison between "measured" and "reported" BMI, the average reported BMI error was estimated and the associated factors were identified. Regardless of nutritional status, women underestimat… Show more

“…The main limitation to analyze these data is due to the fact that overweight and obesity prevalence rates were defined from reported weight and height information, since it was a telephone survey. Although some differences are observed when anthropometric measures are selfreported by the participant than when they are measured 10 , obtaining this information by telephone enables to assess annual variations in a faster, simpler and cheaper way. It is also important to observe that the results in this study, especially in relation to which suggests that BMI is underestimated in reports by women, whereas it is reliable when it comes to men.…”

“…Assim, uma das preocupações em analisar a validade das medidas auto-referidas está em estabelecer a magnitude e o sentido das alterações causadas no cálculo da prevalência de baixo peso, sobrepeso e obesidade da população. Essa linha de raciocínio foi desenvolvida no estudo de Silveira et al (16) , conduzido com a população adulta de Pelotas-RS, onde foram observadas mudanças significativas nas prevalências de sobrepeso e obesidade em mulheres, utilizando as medidas auto-referidas.…”

“…Já os estudos de Maranhão-Neto (14) e Shmitd et al (15) observaram a mesma tendência, em homens, de superestimação do peso e do IMC. No presente estudo, nos homens, a estatura auto-referida e mensurada não apresentou diferença significativa (p<0,05), contudo a mesma foi superestimada, concordando com os relatos na literatura (4,11,15,16,18) .…”
