Abstract
This prospective, cross-sectional study of 60 women compares self-reported height, weight, and BMI with measured values. Self-reported BMI (29.0 ± 8.37 kg/m2) was slightly lower than measured BMI (29.1 ± 8.38 kg/m2) (p = 0.4). Eighty percent of participants reported a BMI in the same category in which their BMI was measured. Pearson's correlation coefficient for height (0.96, p < 0.001), weight (0.99, p < 0.001), and BMI (0.99, p < 0.001) were high. Reproductive age women accurately reported their height and weight.
