Uncorrected difference (prevalence rates of weight status based on self-reports minus prevalence rates based on measured data).

Model A: linear terms and fractional polynomials of exact age and heightr or weightr, body perception (five categories).

Model B: linear terms and fractional polynomials of exact age and heightr or weightr, body perception (three categories).

Model C: age and heightr or weightr, body perception (five categories).

Model D: age and heightr or weightr, body perception (three categories).

Model E: age and heightr or weightr.

Model F: application of the formula of Kurth and Ellert [14].
