The validity of self-reported height was assessed in a sample of Afro-Caribbean, Asian and Caucasian parents. Asian mothers overestimated their height (p less than 0.01) and Caucasian mothers overestimated that of their child's father. The standard deviations of the differences between reported and measured height, with the exception of Caucasian mothers, were large (between 4.33 cm and 11.18 cm). It is concluded that self-reported height from subjects living in inner city areas in Britain should be interpreted with great caution
