On the basis of a representative sample (N=546) of adolescents of the city of Stuttgart (class levels 8 and 9) this article explores the extent to which the self-evaluation of body weight deviates from the classification of weight recommended by the German Arbeitsgemeinschaft Adipositas im Kindes- und Jugendalter (AGA, Working Committee on Obesity in Children and Adolescents). The analysis revealed that 47.7% of the girls and 38.2% of the boys do not correspond with the body mass index-based classification recommended by the AGA. This is particularly related to adolescents who are underweight or have normal weight. Concerning the self-evaluation of body weight, great gender differences were exposed: boys are likely to underestimate their weight {OR=1.85 CI (95%): [1.06-3.13]}, whereas girls tend to overestimate their body weight {OR=2.08 CI (95%): [1.38-3.14]}. The findings are displayed in the context of current national and international research results. In conclusion, the role of public health services in terms of promoting healthy body weight is discussed.
基于斯图加特市（8年级和9年级）青少年的代表性样本（N = 546），本文探讨了青少年对体重的自我评价与德国儿童和青少年肥胖问题工作委员会（AGA）推荐的体重分类之间的偏差程度。分析显示，47.7%的女孩和38.2%的男孩不符合AGA基于体重指数推荐的分类。这尤其与体重过轻或体重正常的青少年有关。关于体重的自我评价，发现了巨大的性别差异：男孩可能低估自己的体重{OR = 1.85，95%置信区间：[1.06 - 3.13]}，而女孩往往高估自己的体重{OR = 2.08，95%置信区间：[1.38 - 3.14]}。研究结果在当前国内和国际研究成果的背景下展示。最后，讨论了公共卫生服务在促进健康体重方面的作用。
