Correction of body-mass index using body-shape perception and socioeconomic status in adolescent self-report surveys.
<h4>Objectives</h4>To propose a simple correction of body-mass index (BMI) based on self-reported weight and height (reported BMI) using gender, body shape perception and socioeconomic status in an adolescent population.<h4>Methods</h4>341 boys and girls aged 17-18 years were...
