New obesity body mass index threshold for self-reported data
BACKGROUND: Since subjects included in population studies tend to underreport their weight and overestimate their height, obesity prevalence based on these data is often inaccurate. A reduced obesity threshold for self-reported height and weight was proposed and evaluated for its accuracy. METHODS: Self-reported heights and weights were compared with measured heights and weights in a Swiss city adult population representative sample. Participants…
Overweight and obesity in a Swiss city
Background Increased rates of overweight/obesity have been reported in recent years in developed countries. This population study of healthy subjects evaluated the changes in overweight/obesity prevalence in 2003, compared with 1993, and determined the association of age, sex and leisure-time activity with body mass index (BMI), fat-free mass index (FFMI) and fat mass index (FMI). Design Two transversal samples of convenience. Participants Health…
A Randomized Trial of Four Patient Satisfaction Questionnaires
BACKGROUND: Patient satisfaction surveys are increasingly used by hospitals. Many questionnaires are available, but little evidence exists to guide the choice of the most suitable instrument. OBJECTIVE: To compare the acceptability and patient perceptions of 4 patient satisfaction questionnaires. RESEARCH DESIGN: Randomized trial of 4 satisfaction questionnaires: Picker, Patient Judgment System (PJS), Sequs, and a locally developed Lausanne quest…
