Evaluating the Reliability of Self-Measured Anthropometric Data: A Pilot Study in Healthy Adults

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Introduction: Anthropometric measurements are essential for assessing cardiometabolic risk but require trained personnel. This pilot study evaluates the discrepancy between self-reported and professional measurements.Methods: Waist and hip circumferences in 20 healthy adults were compared.Results: No significant difference for waist, significant underestimation for hips.Conclusions: Self-measurement of hips is underestimated; new technologies may improve accuracy.
