Abstract

Objective: To assess the agreement of the referred weight and height data for the diagnosis of the nutritional status of Nutrition students. Method: Cross-sectional study, sampling for convenience criteria, totaling 77 students, 41 female and 36 male. The referred and sociodemographic information were obtained through a general questionnaire, and the measurement of measures was carried out soon after its application. To assess the relationship between reported and measured measurements, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated. In order to obtain the weight and height prediction equations, linear regression was used. Results: The mean age was 21,2 ± 3,25 years for men and 19 ± 4,08 years for women, respectively. There was an excellent correlation (ICC> 0.9) between the measurements measured with those reported and corrected by the prediction equation. The coefficients of determination (r²) of the predictive equations of weight and height were greater than 0,9. Height was overestimated in women, and body weight was underestimated in both men and women. The body mass index (BMI) obtained through the referred measures was underestimated by females and males. Conclusion: The use of data referred for diagnosis of nutritional status of college students of nutrition, presented a good agreement with the measured measures and there were no significant improvements in the agreement with the correction of the measurements.
