The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Mbah a Moute gets starting nod
Rookie forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute will get his first NBA start tonight, with Charlie Villanueva coming off the bench at the power forward position against the San Antonio Spurs.
Bucks coach Scott Skiles said he felt the time was right to make the move, with the Bucks on a three-game losing streak.
"A couple different reasons," Skiles said of the lineup switch. "I want to get my best defender out there to start the game, and we need some scoring pop off the bench. We're either starting the game poorly, and the reserves are coming in and having to play catch-up, or we're starting really well, and then we go to the bench and dry up on the offensive end."
Mbah a Moute is averaging 9.1 points and 6.3 rebounds over the first eight games, while playing 26.9 minutes per game.
Villanueva had 12 points and 10 rebounds in 36 minutes in a starting role in the Bucks' 99-93 loss at Cleveland on Tuesday night.
"You don't ever know if it's the exact right time to do something, but we've lost three in a row," Skiles said. "We don't want any prolonged losing streaks. Charlie has struggled to make shots from the field. He's a way better shooter than his field goal percentage (37.1%) suggests right now. Maybe it's a way to get him out there against some other people and he can have some success."
Mbah a Moute has guarded everyone from LeBron James to Chris Bosh to Caron Butler, and he has gained the confidence of his coach.
"He's played very well, and the last two or three games we have not started well," Skiles said. "We need to get some energy into that starting group."
Spurs short-handed: The Spurs are playing without Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, both out with ankle injuries. Ginobili underwent left ankle surgery following the Olympics and is expected back in mid-December if not earlier. Parker suffered a bad left ankle sprain in a game at Miami on Nov. 7 and is expected to be out two to four weeks...
Roger Mason and rookie George Hill will form the Spurs' starting backcourt. Hill started in Parker's place against New York on Tuesday night and had 12 points and five rebounds in the Spurs' 92-80 victory. Mason, a fifth-year pro who played the last two seasons with Washington, was acquired as a free agent during the off-season and has proved to be a valuable pickup. "He's been of paramount importance because he's really been a scorer for us," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "When we get healthy, his real value will show, because it will make us a pretty deep team, I think. But at this point, he's saving us in certain situations."

The Sun Also Rises
Scribner, 1954 - Fiction - 251 pages
"The Sun Also Rises" was Ernest Hemingway's first big novel, and immediately established Hemingway as one of the great prose stylists, and one of the preeminent writers of his time. It is also the book that encapsulates the angst of the post-World War I generation, known as the Lost Generation. This poignantly beautiful story of a group of American and English expatriates in Paris on an excursion to Pamplona represents a dramatic step forward for Hemingway's evolving style. Featuring Left Bank Paris in the 1920s and brutally realistic descriptions of bullfighting in Spain, the story is about the flamboyant Lady Brett Ashley and the hapless Jake Barnes. In an age of moral bankrupcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illustions, this is the Lost Generation.

Escrow Funds and $1.7 Million Reduction in Workers' Compensation Security Requirements SOMERSET, N.J., April 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TeamStaff, Inc. (Nasdaq: TSTF), one of the nation's leading providers of healthcare staffing and specialty payroll services, today announced that $2.25 million of the $2.5 million held in escrow as part of TeamStaff's sale of the assets of its professional employer organization (PEO) division to Gevity HR, Inc. has been released for TeamStaff's benefit. Additionally, TeamStaff announced that Zurich American Insurance Company has approved a reduction in the letter of credit that provides security as part of TeamStaff's PEO workers' compensation program, from $3.5 million to $1.8 million. "As part of the sale of our PEO division to Gevity, $2.5 million of the purchase price was placed in escrow," stated T. Kent Smith, TeamStaff's President & CEO. "The amount was subject to adjustment based on Gevity's retention of the former TeamStaff business. We are pleased to report that, as a result of Gevity's retention of 90% of the PEO business, $2.25 million is being released from escrow for TeamStaff's benefit. When added to the $7 million already paid by Gevity, this results in a total purchase price of $9.25 million. We appreciate the hard work of many of our former TeamStaff colleagues who were instrumental in facilitating the successful transition of our PEO client portfolio to the Gevity human resources outsourcing system," continued Mr. Smith. "The release of these funds provides additional financial resources for the continued development of our medical staffing division, TeamStaff Rx." TeamStaff also had been working with Zurich, the provider of TeamStaff's PEO workers' compensation program from March 22, 2002 through November 16, 2003, to reduce the security requirements associated with the program. TeamStaff had provided a fully collateralized, $3.5 million letter of credit as partial security for the program. As a result of the sale of the PEO division, Zurich consented to a $1.7 million reduction in the amount of the letter of credit, to $1.8 million, effective March 31, 2004. Commenting on the reduction, Mr. Smith stated, "We are delighted that Zurich recognized the substantial change in our risk profile that resulted from our determination to exit the PEO business. This reduction in collateral frees up additional assets to assist us in our restructuring and growth strategy. We also are looking forward to the potential return of as much as $5 million in premium as well as further relief on the letter of credit requirement as the Zurich PEO workers' compensation program winds down. We are proud of the partnership we have forged with Zurich, and Zurich continues to be our workers' compensation provider for our temporary staffing and corporate employees." Mr. Smith concluded, "These developments represent two significant milestones in our overall strategy of repositioning the Company for a return to growth and profitability." About TeamStaff, Inc.

Talk:The Mind of the Married Man
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|WikiProject Chicago
|WikiProject Television
Why this show god bad or mediocre ratings, I am not sure. I loved it. My wife even loved it. We both thought the story lines and characters in it to be not only amusing, but incredibly real. The only thing I can think of as to WHY it got bad reviews is that it was too real. Too much like what many of us men are thinking like. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs)

91 points Robert Parker: "A saturated dark plum/garnet color with amber at the edge is followed by an attractive smoky, underbrush, and truffle-scented wine with coffee, smoke, cedar, and jammy cassis/plum-like fruit. As the wine sits in the glass, notes of Chinese black tea, pepper, and soy emerge. There is surprising tannin and austerity in the finish, but the aromatics and attack were convincingly rich and intense." (06/00) 91 points Wine Spectator: "A pleasant, expressive Hermitage, showing a ripe character, with lovely plum, blackberry, lead pencil and leather notes. The tannins are well integrated but still firm. Long finish.--La Chapelle vertical." (12/99)

Maintenance at the Saudi Rabigh refinery continues to force the company to seek extra imports from the Mediterranean, traders said on Tuesday.
July 13, 2011 2:27 by Reuters
Saudi Aramco has bought at least four cargoes of gasoline for August as maintenance at the Saudi Rabigh refinery continues to force the company to seek extra imports from the Mediterranean, traders said on Tuesday.
"That's why Saudi is importing so much gasoline, and why the Mediterranean market is so tight," said a light-ends trader.
Prices in the Mediterranean were trading at around $3 a tonne above markets in North Western Europe on Tuesday, with barge prices reported at $1,033.5 a tonne fob MED half-way through the session.
Aramco also delayed shipments of naphtha from the refinery earlier this week, which traders interpreted to be another signal the maintenance schedule at the refinery had run into delays and supported expectations the buying spree would extend into August.
Saudi Arabia, a regular importer of gasoline, ramped up purchases of gasoline in July, buying 10-12 cargoes on the spot market last month.
Saudi-based PetroRabigh said it would restart the gasoline-making fluid catalytic cracking unit (HOFCC) at the 400,000 barrels-per-day (bpd) refinery in mid-July.
But at least one source expected the restart to be pushed back as far as August and traders say Saudi Arabia is likely to continue to import elevated volumes of gasoline next month leaving the Mediterranean market tightly supplied.
Most units at the plant have restarted since maintenance began in April.

Jackie Barto was a three-sport stand-out for the Friars, and also returned to her alma mater to coach field hockey, ice hockey and softball.
Feb. 24, 2014
Hi Alums! Hello fellow Friars! Throughout the 2013 season, each member of the team had an opportunity to write an "Alumni Update," which, as you know, gives the PC Field Hockey alumni an idea of what we have been up to and how our season is going.
This spring, however, we are doing something a little bit different. Instead of each player reporting on what is going on in Friartown, each member of our team is going to ask a few questions to a former player about their PC Field Hockey experience. Our players were given a list of all-time uniform numbers for the program, and from that list they needed to contact an alum who also wore their number.
We're excited to be able to share the communication between our players and the alums. Our first "edition" is very appropriate as this former Friar and head coach played a significant role in the proud tradition of Providence College Field Hockey. Please meet Jackie (Gladu) Barto...
Rising junior Emily Matthews (#3) `16 conducted the interview.
Emily: What is something that you wish you had as a Friar, that is available to us now? (Academically, facilities, etc.)?
Jackie: "The biggest resource that I wish we had available to us would have been the facilities. As a student-athlete from 1980-84 we played on a grass field, that was very average. I also coached field hockey from 1985-1997 at PC and we played on grass as well for the entire time. We were one of only a couple grass fields at the time. It was difficult to get teams to come in to compete against us and recruiting was at times a challenge. Yet Providence is such as great school there were many other great aspects to a Providence College education. Also, we only had one locker room for all the varsity womens sports. Your facilities are amazing now!"
Emily: What does it mean to you to be a Providence College Field hockey alum?
Jackie: "I am very proud to be a PC alum and to have had the opportunity to play three sports at the varsity level (field hockey, ice hockey and softball) and graduate with honors. I played for some great coaches and had some incredible experiences. I still follow the teams and how everyone is doing."
Emily: Why did you chose to be #3 as a Friar, and was that also your ice hockey number?
Jackie: "I was #17 my freshman year in field hockey. A senior was wearing #3. However, I was able to wear #3 in ice hockey and softball all four seasons. After my freshman year my coach in field hockey gave me #3. I was very thankful. I was always #3 growing up with my club hockey team and I also wore #3 in high school. It meant a lot to me to be able to wear this number in college."
Emily: What is your favorite memory of your time spent in Friartown?
Jackie: "My favorite memory as a student-athlete would be my senior year in ice hockey. We were playing in the ECAC Championship game at home against UNH [New Hampshire]. The game was scoreless and went to overtime. I scored the game winning goal 9-seconds into the overtime. This was the first ever ECAC Championship for PC. It was awesome to experience this championship with my teammates and coaches.
Also as a student-athlete I was named Athlete of the Year at PC my freshman and senior years. I am very thankful for all the great coaches and teammates that helped me have such a successful career at PC. It is a time I will always cherish and remember. My favorite memory as a coach was with the field hockey program. We were undefeated in 1987 and we spent a few weeks at the top of the NCAA poll, ranked No. 1 in the country. That year we advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament. We had a great team and it was a special group of athletes to work with and coach. It was a lot of fun.
My favorite memory as a coach with the ice hockey team was in 1996. We were playing at UNH in the ECAC Championship game. The game was tied after regulation and we played five overtimes. We lost in the end, but this is the longest game in NCAA hockey history. It was amazing to be part of it, the athletes were incredible through this event."
Emily: What was the transition like from playing to coaching at your alma mater?
Jackie: "The transition into coaching at PC was fairly smooth. After graduation, I went back to Newton and worked in an office. I found out that was not for me. The next fall I had the opportunity to return to PC and be the assistant coach for the field hockey, ice hockey and softball teams. I was so excited and honored. Two weeks into the field hockey season the head coach resigned and took another job, and I was named the head coach. I worked hard to instill a great team work ethic and recruit quality student-athletes. The program developed quickly and I am very proud of what we accomplished as a team between 1985-1997. We were able to get the program recognized on the National level, winning some BIG EAST tournaments and making the NCAA Tournament. I also had the opportunity to be head ice hockey coach from 1994-98. I had a very successful coaching career at Providence for 13 years. I learned many things through all my experiences and I feel I grew and developed as a coach. In 1998, I had the opportunity to become the first-ever head ice hockey coach at The Ohio State University. This was an incredible chance for me. As you can imagine Ohio State is the total opposite of PC. The resources there are incredible. I coached there for 13 years and it was wonderful. In all I coached for 28 years and have had the opportunity to coach and meet so many wonderful people and have many awesome experiences. My time at Providence will always be special for me and PC gave me so many chances to develop as a person."

Self-reported anthropometric data are commonly used to estimate prevalence of obesity in population and community-based studies. We aim to: 1) Determine whether survey participants are able and willing to self-report height and weight; 2) Assess the accuracy of self-reported compared to measured anthropometric data in a community-based sample of young people.
Participants (16–29 years) of a behaviour survey, recruited at a Melbourne music festival (January 2011), were asked to self-report height and weight; researchers independently weighed and measured a sub-sample. Body Mass Index was calculated and overweight/obesity classified as ≥25kg/m2. Differences between measured and self-reported values were assessed using paired t-test/Wilcoxon signed ranks test. Accurate report of height and weight were defined as <2cm and <2kg difference between self-report and measured values, respectively. Agreement between classification of overweight/obesity by self-report and measured values was assessed using McNemar's test.
Of 1405 survey participants, 82% of males and 72% of females self-reported their height and weight. Among 67 participants who were also independently measured, self-reported height and weight were significantly less than measured height (p=0.01) and weight (p<0.01) among females, but no differences were detected among males. Overall, 52% accurately self-reported height, 30% under-reported, and 18% over-reported; 34% accurately self-reported weight, 52% under-reported and 13% over-reported. More females (70%) than males (35%) under-reported weight (p=0.01). Prevalence of overweight/obesity was 33% based on self-report data and 39% based on measured data (p=0.16).
Self-reported measurements may underestimate weight but accurately identified overweight/obesity in the majority of this sample of young people.

In Australia, obesity is a national health priority, and approximately one quarter of young adult Australians are overweight or obese [1]. This is a concern for immediate social and health problems, as well as risk of future obesity in adulthood and associated chronic health problems, such as type II diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal disease and some cancers [1]. Data on prevalence and trends in obesity in young people are needed to inform, monitor, and evaluate appropriate policy and interventions.
Body mass index (BMI) is widely used as a measure of obesity due to its simple derivation from height and weight. Height and weight are commonly self-reported in population health surveys for ease of collection [2]. In contrast to direct measurement, self-report enables a large number of individuals to be sampled at relatively minimal cost, time, and resources and the survey tool can be administered face to face, by telephone or online.
Self-reported height and weight may be affected by response or recall bias. It is commonly found that weight is underestimated while height is often overestimated [3-8], leading to underestimation of BMI [5,7,8]. Some studies have identified a greater discrepancy in self-reported and measured height and weight among certain groups, including overweight or obese individuals compared to healthy or underweight individuals [6,7,9-12], females [7-9,12,13], dieters compared to non-dieters, non-smokers compared to smokers [11,14], and older individuals [7,9,11]. Such systematic error may lead to lower prevalence estimates of overweight and obesity and systematic bias in studies examining the relationship between obesity and health outcomes dependent on self-reported measurements. In the Australian context, from a telephone-recruited population survey in Adelaide, classification of overweight/obesity among 18–24 year olds was 6.3% through self-report data and 10.1% through measured data,[13]; while in the 1995 Australian National Health Survey, classification of overweight/obesity among 15–19 year olds was 18% and 12% of males and females, respectively, through self-report data and 25% and 19% of males and females, respectively, through measured data [6].
In spite of these findings, there remains a lack of data reporting the willingness and accuracy of young people to self-report height, weight, and derived BMI, particularly in community-based settings. Traditional methods of recruiting young people into population surveys, such as random digit dialling and school-based recruitment, are subject to increasing barriers affecting participation, tracking, and retention, such as high mobility, changes in telephone use and technology, and non-school attendance [15,16]. Community-based recruitment provides an alternative means to recruit large numbers of young people, and we have previously shown how periodic recruitment from a music festival can be used for surveillance in young people [17,18]. In this setting, use of self-reported measurements would be preferable, given the substantial added time and resources required to independently measure participants.
Here we use participants in a risk behaviour survey to determine the accuracy of self-reported height and weight in Australian 16–29 year olds in a community-based setting. Specifically, the aims of this study were:
1) To determine whether young people participating in a risk behaviour survey are able and willing to provide self-reported height and weight data; and
2) To assess the accuracy of self-reported height, weight and BMI compared to measured values in a community-based sample of young people.
Participants and procedure
Participants were recruited at the Melbourne Big Day Out (BDO) - one day music festival in January 2011 - as part of an ongoing behavioural surveillance system that has been undertaken at the BDO since 2005 [17-19]. A convenience sample of young people aged 16–29 years was recruited by approximately 20 trained researchers (Figure 1). Participants approached or were approached by researchers in and around a study market stall in the food and market area of the festival . Recruitment occurred between 10am and 3pm. Once the survey was explained, participants self-completed a consent form and short questionnaire taking approximately 10 minutes.
Figure 1. Representation of participant recruitment for survey and independent measurement. Final sample depicted in dark grey.
The structure of the market stall set up meant there was one measuring station for height and weight. After completing the questionnaire, participants were invited to have their height and weight measured if approximately three or less participants were waiting to use the measuring station.
A core set of questions about drug and alcohol use and sexual risk behaviours is asked annually in the BDO survey [17,18]. In 2011, participants were additionally asked to self-report their height in centimetres (without shoes) and weight in kilograms (without clothes and shoes) with an option for "don't know" in both questions.
When submitting their completed survey, a subset of individuals was invited to have their height and weight measured by a trained research assistant (Figure 1). As outlined above, invitation was based upon the availability of the measurement station. Participants were measured without shoes and wearing light clothes using digital scales and a portable stadiometer. Height and weight were measured to the nearest 1cm and 0.1kg, respectively.
To link measurements to the participants' surveys, measurements were labelled using either the survey identification number or a "porn star name", a novel anonymous identifier derived from name of first pet and name of first street [20], which was also reported in the questionnaire.
BMI for both self-reported and measured values was calculated as weight (kg) divided by height squared (m2). For participants aged 18 years and older, overweight and obesity were classified using the standard international adult BMI ranges: underweight (BMI <18.5), healthy weight (BMI = 18.5-24.9), overweight (BMI = 25.0-29.9), or obese (BMI >30). [21,22] For participants aged under 18 years, age and sex specific BMI cut-offs for overweight and obesity were used, as defined by the International Obesity Task Force.[23] For the purpose of this research, obesity classification was dichotomised as non-overweight (BMI<25.0) and overweight/obese (BMI≥25.0).
Socio-demographics indicators
A range of self-reported demographic indicators were assessed: sex (male, female); age (16–19, 20–29 years); born in Australia (yes, no); area of residence (major, non-major city); living arrangements (if live with parents/partner; yes, no); post-high school education (if completed or in the process of completing; yes, no); recreational income (<$120, ≥$120 per week). Area of residence was classified from Australian postcodes of residence using the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) Remoteness Areas system [24]. Recreational income was defined as money available for spending or saving, not including essential living costs or tax.
Data were entered into a Microsoft Access database and statistical analysis was conducted in Stata version 11 [25].
To assess factors associated with survey participants' (n=1405) ability and willingness to provide self-report height and weight measurements, participants who did and did not self-report height and weight were compared by demographic indicators using chi-square tests of proportion (Figure 1).
Among those with self-reported height and weight (n=1059), participants with and without measurements taken were compared using chi-square tests of proportion and Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
The final analysis was limited to participants with both self-reported and measured height and weight (n=67) (Figure 1). Accuracy of self-report height, weight, and derived BMI compared to corresponding measured values was assessed in four ways:
i. Test of equality between measured and self-reported mean or median was assessed using a paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed ranks test, respectively, both overall and stratified by sex, age group, and obesity classification categories.
ii. Correlation of self-report to measured values was calculated using Pearson correlation coefficient or Spearman rank correlation coefficient according to distribution of both self-reported and measured height, weight and BMI.
iii. The proportion of individuals who accurately, under- and over- reported their weight/height was compared using a Fisher's exact test. Accurate report of weight/height was defined as less than 2kg/2cm absolute difference between self-report and measured weight/height given an acceptable margin of error, based on previous studies [26]. Under-report of height/weight was defined as self-report ≥2cm/2kg less than measured values; over-report of weight/height was defined as self-report being ≥2cm/2kg more than measured values. The proportion of participants misreporting their height or weight by five or more kilograms was also calculated.
iv. Prevalence of overweight/obesity based on self-report and measured data was compared using two-sided exact McNemar's test. Misclassification of overweight/obesity was measured in terms of sensitivity and specificity with exact binomial 95% confidence intervals (CI), whereby 100% indicates maximum agreement between self-reported and measured classification.
Significance level was 0.05 in all analyses.
Ethical approval was granted by the Alfred Hospital Human Research Ethics Committee (number 326/08).
In total, 1405 questionnaires were completed (see Figure 1). Self-reported height was unknown in 237 (18%) and missing in 28 (2%) questionnaires; self-reported weight was unknown in 148 (11%) and missing in 13 (1%) questionnaires. Overall, 1059 (75%) participants self-reported both height and weight. Comparatively, females, 16–19 year olds, those without post-high school education, those who live with their parents, and those who did not live with a partner were significantly more likely than their counterparts to have self-reported height and/or weight unknown or missing (all p<0.01)( Table 1).
Table 1. Comparison of participant characteristics and risk behaviours by self-report height and weight status
Eighty survey participants had height and weight independently measured. Amongst survey participants providing self-reported height and weight, participants with (6%) and without (94%) independent anthropometric measurement did not differ by demographic characteristics (all p≥0.08).
The final sample is based on 67 participants with complete self-reported and measured height and weight (Figure 1); 51% were male, the median age was 20.1 years, 37% had post-high school education, 67% lived in a major-city, 57% lived with their parent(s), and 58% had $120 or less recreational income per week.
Accuracy of self-reported height, weight, and BMI compared to measured values
As a continuous variable, self-reported and measured height did not significantly differ overall (p=0.06), but mean self-reported height was 2.3 cm less than mean measured height among females (p=0.01) (Table 2). Median self-reported weight was two kilos less than median measured weight (p<0.01). When stratified by age group, sex, and obesity classification, self-reported weight remained significantly lower than measured weight in all sub-categories with the exception of males. Self-reported BMI did not differ from measured BMI overall or when stratified.
Table 2. Comparison of measured and self-reported values for height, weight, and BMI overall and by sex, age group, and obesity classification
Correlations between self-reported and measured values for height and weight were high (Table 2); correlation was equal to or greater than 0.92 for all values and sub-categories with the exception of height among females, with correlation of 0.84. Correlation of self-reported and measured BMI was moderately high for all sub-groups with the exception among overweight or obese individuals, in which correlation was only 0.40.
Overall, 52% of participants accurately self-reported their height (within 2cm), 30% under-reported, and 18% over-reported their height (Table 3). There was a tendency for more males than females to over-report their height (p=0.16).
Table 3. Proportion of participants who accurately, under- and over-reported their height and weight stratified by sex, age group, and obesity classification
Overall, 34% of participants accurately self-reported their weight (within 2 kg), 52% under-reported and 13% over-reported their weight (Table 3). Significantly more females (70%) than males (35%) under-reported their weight by at least two kilograms (p=0.01). Compared to non-overweight participants, overweight/obese participants were less likely to accurately report weight and more likely to under-report weight, but this was non-significant (p=0.24).
In total, 3 (9%) males and 9 (27%) females inaccurately self-reported their height by five centimetres or more (p=0.05), and 12 (35%) males and 5 (15%) females inaccurately self-reported their weight by five kilograms or more (p=0.06). Overweight/obese participants were more likely to misreport their weight by at least 5kg than non-overweight participants (42% vs 15%, p=0.01).
Classification of overweight/obesity
Based on self-report data, 22 (33%) participants were classified as overweight or obese, compared to 26 (39%) participants based on measured data (p=0.29). In total, 59 (88%) were correctly classified. The sensitivity of self-reported data was 77% (95%CI 56%-91%) and specificity was 95% (95%CI 83%-99%).
In this study of young people attending a music festival, we determined the feasibility and accuracy of collecting self-reported height and weight. Our results confirm that at a group level, self-report measures in a community-based setting is a useful tool for estimating the prevalence of overweight and obesity, particularly when impractical to take independent measurements.
Three-quarters of survey participants provided both self-report height and weight. In the remainder, the majority reported not knowing their height and/or weight, with only a few missing values, although the "don't know" category might have also included some refusals. Of concern, participants who did not self-report their height or weight were systematically different from those who did; they were more likely to be female, younger, and less educated. Because height and weight measurements were not taken for all participants, we could not determine whether self-reporting height and weight was influenced by bodyweight status. Further research is needed to explore if there are biases in bodyweight status influencing willingness and ability to self-report height and weight in a community-based setting.
Self-reported and measured height did not significantly differ, and approximately half of males and females reported their height within two centimetres of measured height. However, females were more likely than males to underreport their height, and approximately one quarter of females misreported their height by more than five centimetres, compared to only nine percent of males. Previous studies have observed over-report of height [6,7] or decreased accuracy of height with increasing age, perhaps due to decreasing opportunities to regularly measure height or changes in height over time [4,27]. Of note, we did not detect a difference in accurate report by age group in our study.
The difference between self-reported and measured weight was more pronounced than for height, particularly among females and overweight or obese individuals. Although one third of all individuals reported their weight within two kilograms of measured weight, a notable 35% of males and 15% of females misreported their weight by five or more kilograms. Females were more likely than males to under-report their weight. Our results are consistent with previous studies reporting systematic under-reporting of weight by females and overweight/obese individuals [4,12]. It has been postulated that social desirability bias may explain the underreporting of weight, particularly among females and overweight/obese individuals [8,28]. However, other research that has included a measure of social desirability has challenged this notion [26,28].
In this study we found that self-report height and weight is a reasonable predictor of overweight and obesity among young people, particularly when pertaining to population-level applications such as monitoring trends in overweight, program evaluation, and advocacy for funding [12]. Notwithstanding inaccuracies in the self-reporting of weight, the effect on BMI was small, with the median difference less than one unit. Sensitivity of classification of overweight/obesity was around 77% − similar to the 70% found in 15–19 year olds participants of the Australian National Health Survey [6]. Nonetheless, in this sample, approximately two-fifths of overweight/obese individuals would have been incorrectly classified as non-overweight based on self-report (false negatives), which is consistent with previous findings [12]. Methods to limit this inaccuracy and bias might include a correction algorithm to account for generalised misreporting based on certain characteristics [2,11,29], periodically measuring a sub-sample, or where feasible, advising participants ahead of time to weigh and measure themselves before participating [30].
Obesity prevention and control is a national priority in Australia, with increasing millions of dollars being invested to its cause [31]. Community-based settings, including web-based studies, are ideal alternatives to traditional means of population-based recruitment in order to both inform and evaluate obesity interventions – particularly among young adults who are difficult to access through household telephone surveys and school settings. They provide novel means to reach a large number of people, including hard-to-reach populations [32]. In these settings self-reported anthropometric measures are the most practical means to define and estimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity. To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate accuracy of self-report in a community-based sample; our findings confirm that it is possible to use self-report data to estimate and monitor trends in prevalence of overweight and obesity, particularly when bias is expected to remain constant.
This study has a number of limitations. First, the results are based on a convenience-sample and may not be representative of young people in Australia. Second, the sample size for the independent measurement of height and weight was relatively small and may have limited our ability to detect differences and associations with self-reported height and weight. This sample size was limited by the use of only one measuring station, and in the future we recommend more stations are utilised to obtain a larger sample. Third, small differences in self-reported and measured values may be attributable to non-differential measurement bias; multiple researchers were responsible for taking measurements throughout the day and the recruitment day was characterised by high temperatures, reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius. Some participants may have been dehydrated while others were drinking large quantities of water (the study team was distributing water); both factors may have impacted on the accurate measurement of weight. Natural daily weight fluctuation may also partly explain some weight discrepancies; at the festival measurements were taken between 10am-3pm, which may differ to participants' customary time for weighing themselves. Fourth, selection bias may have been introduced because individuals were not systematically randomised to have their height and weight measured by a researcher; there was potential unrecognised selection bias by the investigators inviting participants to be measured, as well in participants who declined to be measured. However, no demographic differences were identified between those with and without measurements taken. Further research is needed to confirm findings in a larger sample and to see whether a convenience music festival audience differs from the general young adult population in terms of self-reported weight and height accuracy.
In conclusion, our results suggest that the majority of young people participating in a risk behavioural survey are able and willing to self-report their height and weight. The classification of overweight/obesity based on derived self-report BMI has high sensitivity against independent measurement in this setting. Given the wide reach and efficiency of surveys including self-reported measures, these results suggest that that self-reported height and weight are a suitable proxy to estimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity by BMI in a community-based sample of young people, but some underestimation of overweight/obesity is likely and should be taken into consideration.
