Measured obesity / by Michael Tjepkema and Margot Shields.CS82-620/1-2005E-PDF

For more than a decade, information about the weight of Canadians has been based on self reports, that is, survey respondents reported their own height and weight rather than being measured and weighed. However, such data are known to underestimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity. The 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey: Nutrition (CCHS), which directly measured respondents’height and weight, makes it possible to draw a more accurate picture for adults and for children and adolescents.
