Comparison of self-reported and measured height, weight and BMI in Turkish university students

Accuracy and validity of self-reported height and weight, and body image satisfaction have not been evaluated particularly in young adult population in Turkey. The aim of the study was to establish the differences of self-reported height and weight, and body mass index (BMI). The study conducted on...

520 |a Accuracy and validity of self-reported height and weight, and body image satisfaction have not been evaluated particularly in young adult population in Turkey. The aim of the study was to establish the differences of self-reported height and weight, and body mass index (BMI). The study conducted on 617 university students (304 males and 313 females) aged 17-30 years from Ankara and Sivas, Turkey. Height and weight were measured and obtained by a questionnaire. From both measured and self-reported values for accuracy absolute differences were calculated. BMI was calculated from both self-reported and measured height and weight values using World Health Organization (WHO) cut-offs. The results showed that mean accuracy for the overestimated height was 1.83 cm for males (Ankara 1.59 cm and Sivas 2.05 cm), and 2.42 cm for females (Ankara 2.12 cm and Sivas 2.74 cm), and underreporting weight was 0.35 kg (Ankara 0.13 kg and Sivas 0.56 kg) and -0.95 kg (Ankara 0.33 kg and Sivas 1.07 kg), respectively. Self-reported BMIs>25 was 33.9% for males (Ankara 27.6% and Sivas 39.6%), and 15.7% for females (Ankara 9.9% and Sivas 16.8%), while measured BMIs>25 was 38.2% (Ankara 30.3% and Sivas 45.3%) and 25.9% (Ankara 21.7% and Sivas 35.5%), respectively. In conclusion, study group tended to overestimate height but underestimate weight, therefore the self-reported weight and height studies needed to evaluate more cautiously, and direct measurements or correction equations for adjustment needed for reliable results. 
520 |a Preciznost i valjanost samoprocijenjenih vrijednosti visine, težine i zadovoljstva tijelom nisu do sada dovoljno istraživani u mlađoj populaciji u Turskoj. Cilj rada je utvrditi razlike između samoprocijenjenih i izmjerenih vrijednosti visine, težine i indeksa tjelesne mase (BMI). Istraživanje je provedeno na 617 ispitanika (304 studenta i 313 studentice) u dobi između 17 i 30 godina u Ankari i Sivasu u Turskoj. Vrijednosti visine i težine su izmjerene i prikupljene upitnikom. Na temelju obje vrste podataka izračunate su vrijednosti BMI prema klasifikaciji Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije. Rezultati pokazuju višu samoprocijenjenu srednju vrijednost visine za 1,83 cm u muškaraca (Ankara 1,59 cm; Sivas 2.05 cm), i za 2,42 cm u žena (Ankara 2,12 cm; Sivas 2,74 cm) i nižu srednju vrijednost težine za 0,35 kg u muškaraca (Ankara 0,13 kg i Sivas 0,56 kg) te za 0,95 kg u žena (Ankara 0,33 kg; Sivas 1,07 kg). Samoprocijenjeni BMI >25 je utvrđen u 33,9% muškaraca (Ankara 27,6%; Sivas 39,6%) te 15,7% žena (Ankara 9,9%; Sivas 16,8%), a izmjereni BMI >25 u 38,2% muškaraca (Ankara 30,3%; Sivas 45,3%) i u 25,9% žena (Ankara 21,7%; Sivas 35,5%). Općenito uzevši, ispitanici su percipirali više vrijednosti visine i manje vrijednosti težine od onih stvarnih što ukazuje na potrebu kritičkog korištenja samoprocijenjenih podataka i oslanjanja na izravna mjerenja ili statističku prilagodbu samoprocijenjenih podataka kako bi se dobili pouzdani rezultati.
