Agreement of offspring-reported parental smoking status
With increasing interest in exposure effects across generations, it is crucial to assess the validity of information given on behalf of others. To compare adult’s report of their parent’s smoking status against parent’s own report and examine predictors for discrepant answers. We studied 7185 offspring (18-51 years) and one of their parents, n = 5307 (27-67 years) participating in the Respiratory Health in Northern Europe, Spain and Australia (RH…
Validation of self-reported figural drawing scales against anthropometric measurements in adults
Objective The aim of the present study was to validate figural drawing scales depicting extremely lean to extremely obese subjects to obtain proxies for BMI and waist circumference in postal surveys. Design Reported figural scales and anthropometric data from a large population-based postal survey were validated with measured anthropometric data from the same individuals by means of receiver-operating characteristic curves and a BMI prediction mo…
