摘要：Background: Obesity is a worldwide public health problem, which requires a surveillance system based on readily available data. Objective: To determine the concordance between self-reported and actual weight, height, and body mass index (BMI). Materials and methods: 462 students, male and female, between18-25 years old participated in a cross-sectional study. All participants were students at Universidad de Pamplona, Colombia. Participants were asked for their weight and height. BMI was calculated based on reported data. Furthermore, the variables were actually measured by a trained professional. Intra-classcoefficients (ICC) between self-reported and actual data were calculated for each variable. Results: The actual BMI was 22,8±3,1 Kg/m2 in men and 21,9±2,8 Kg/m2 in women. ICC (IC95%) for weight, height, and BMI were, respectively: 0.965 (0.96 to 0.97), 0.967 (0.96 to 0.97), and 0.920 (0.90 to 0.93). Conclusion: Selfreported weight and height data are useful for obesity assessment in students from the Universidad de Pamplona-Colombia.
