The validity of self-reported height and weight data was examined in a large population of adult men and women. On the average, women reported weights lower than actual, with the amount of discrepancy increasing as weight increased. At low weights, men on the average reported weighing more than their actual weights while at higher weights they reported weighing less. Women tended to report heights which were slightly less than their actual heights, with the discrepancy increasing with increasing height. Men tended to report heights which were more than their actual heights; this tendency decreased with increasing height.
在一大群成年男性和女性中，对自我报告的身高和体重数据的有效性进行了检查。平均而言，女性报告的体重低于实际体重，差异量随着体重增加而增大。在低体重时，男性平均报告的体重超过他们的实际体重，而在高体重时，他们报告的体重则较轻。女性倾向于报告略低于其实际身高的身高，差异随着身高增加而增大。男性倾向于报告高于其实际身高的身高；这种倾向随着身高增加而降低。
