“…34 Moreover, another study among Japanese women aged 35-64 years found that subjects with higher measured BMI significantly underreported their body weight compared with those with lower BMI. 35 Therefore, the prevalence of obesity with BMIX25 based on self-reported data was slightly underestimated. The result may be diluted by this specific underreporting of BMI among obese subjects.…”

Objective: To examine associations between dietary patterns and obesity. Design: Cross-sectional study. Subjects: A total of 3760 Japanese female dietetic course students aged 18-20 years from 53 institutions in Japan. Measurements: Diet was assessed over a 1-month period with a validated self-administered diet history questionnaire with 148 food items, from which 30 food groups were created and entered into a factor analysis. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from self-reported body height and weight. Results: Mean BMI (7s.d.) was 20.972.8 kg m À2 . Four dietary patterns were identified. After adjustment for several confounding factors and total energy intake, the 'Healthy' pattern, characterized by high intakes of vegetables, mushrooms, seaweeds, potatoes, fish and shellfish, soy products, processed fish, fruit and salted vegetables, was significantly associated with a lower risk of BMIX25 (odds ratio of the highest quintile vs lowest, 0.57; 95% confidence interval: 0.37-0.87; P for trend o0.05). In contrast, the 'Japanese traditional' pattern, characterized by high intakes of rice, miso soup and soy products, and the 'Western' pattern, characterized by high intakes of meats, fats and oils, seasonings, processed meats and eggs, were both significantly associated with an increased risk of BMIX25 (OR: 1.77; 95% CI: 1.17-2.67; P for trend o0.01 and OR: 1.56; 95% CI: 1.01-2.40; P for trend ¼ 0.04, respectively). Conclusion: Three major dietary patterns, Healthy, Japanese traditional and Western, were all independently and significantly related to the risk of obesity even among a relatively lean young Japanese female population.

“…Studies according to whether SR data of body weight and height are comparable to measurement devices (MD) data about body weight and height have been carried out (e.g. Niedhammer et al, 2000;Villanueva, 2001;Wada et al, 2005). However, there are considerable limitations according to cultural aspects or according to the samples -some of them are no general population samples.…”

Validity of overweight and obesity in a nation based on self-report versus measurement device data

et al. 2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective: To analyze overweight and obesity in a nation by self-report (SR) data and by data about the target person provided via other household members compared to measurement devices (MD). The magnitude of hypothesized under-reporting by the SR data should be estimated with adjustment for age, gender, and education. Design: Two cross-sectional studies, nationally representative health examination surveys (response rates: 61.4 and 73.2%, respectively). Setting: Adult general population of Germany aged 20-79 years. Subjects: Sample 1 included 6806 residents. Samples 2 (n ¼ 98 673) and 3 (n ¼ 34 960) included residents in the second survey. Measurements: In sample 1 MD data were collected, in sample 2 SR data were collected, and in sample 3 body weight and height information was provided from another household member living together with the target person. Results: MD data revealed higher proportions of overweight and obesity compared to SR. Among women with body mass index (BMI) 35.00 or higher, the odds ratio (OR) was 3.9 (95% confidence interval, CI, 3.2-4.7), and among men 2.8 (CI, 2.2-3.6) for MD versus SR. Data from other household members also revealed higher proportions of overweight and obesity than SR (OR for BMI 35.00 or higher 2.1, CI, 1.7-2.5, for data from other household members versus SR in women and OR 1.3, CI, 1.1-1.5, in men).

“…Os valores de sensibilidade e especificidade encontrados foram considerados altos para a concordância entre as medidas, indo ao encontro da literatura (5) . Quanto à variação dos erros, Schmidt et al (15) relataram que 62% da amostra de adultos, da cidade de Porto Alegre-RS, apresentou um erro menor do que 2kg para o peso.…”

“…Deste modo, alguns estudos procuraram validar as medidas de peso e estatura auto-referidas em várias populações (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) , comprovando que este procedimento fornece dados válidos e confiáveis, até mesmo em indivíduos obesos ou grupos com uma maior vulnerabilidade de acesso às informações de peso e estatura, como por exemplo, pessoas com baixa escolaridade (11) . Observa-se que algumas variáveis estão relacionadas com erros nas medidas auto-referidas, tais como: idade, sexo, renda, escolaridade entre outras que, quando associadas, explicam parte destas diferenças (4,12,13) .…”

Este estudo teve como objetivos verificar a concordância entre as medidas mensuradas e auto-referidas de peso, estatura e índice de massa corporal (IMC) e analisar a influência do estado nutricional e das variá-veis sociodemográficas na diferença da medida auto-referida em idosos. Foram avaliados 368 idosos (284 mulheres e 84 homens), entre 60 e 85 anos de idade. As medidas mensuradas e auto-referidas de peso e estatura foram coletadas, sendo que as informações auto-referidas e sociodemograficas foram obtidas por meio de um questionário auto-aplicado. Utilizou-se estatística descritiva e o teste t student para comparar a médias, análise de variância (ANOVA) para comparar as diferenças em relação ao estado nutricional e o teste de Kruskal-Wallis foi utilizado para comparar as diferenças em relação aos grupos de idade, nível educacional e nível socioeconômico. Utilizou-se o programa SPSS versão 11.0 com um nível de significância de p<0,05. Os homens tenderam a superestimar os valores de peso auto-referido. Nas mulheres, foram observadas diferenças significativas para todas as variáveis analisadas, sendo que a estatura auto-referida foi superestimada, enquanto que o peso e o IMC foram subestimados sistematicamente. As prevalências de sobrepeso para homens e mulheres diferiram significativamente, sendo influenciada nas mulheres pela idade e pelo nível educacional, já homens, apenas pela idade. Uma diferença inferior a 2kg/m 2 no IMC auto-referido foi observado em 89,3% dos homens e 80,9% das mulheres. Com isso, concluiu-se que o IMC auto-referido apresentou elevada concordância para avaliação nutricional em homens idosos; contudo, entre as mulheres idosas a utilização das medidas auto-referidas subestimaram a prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade.Palavras-chave: índice de massa corporal, medidas auto-referidas, idosos. ABSTRACTThe objectives of this study were to verify the agreement between the self-reported weight, height and body mass index (BMI) measurements of older adults and to analyze the influence of nutritional status and socio-demographic variables on the error in those measurements. A total of 368 older subjects (284 women and 84 men), aged 60-85 years were evaluated. Weight and height were measured and the selfreported measurements were collected together with socio-demographic data obtained by a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Student's t test to compare means, analysis of variance (ANOVA) to compare the relationship between differences and nutritional status and the Kruskal-Wallis test to compare the relationship between differences and in age, educational background and socio-economic status. Analyses were performed using SPSS version 11.0 and the level of significance was set at p<0.05. Men tended to overestimate their own weight. Among women, significant differences were observed for all studied variables, with height being overestimated and weight and BMI being systematically underestimated. Prevalence rates of overweight among men and women dif...
