Self-reported height and weight: timeliness and source of the participant information
Self-reported data on height measurements, on average are much less recent than weight measurements, which appear to be relatively up-to-date. This limitation should be considered when BMI analyses are based on self-reported data. More precise information on height and weight can only be determined with standardized up-to-date measurements.
