Self-Reported Weight. The article “Accuracy of SelfReported Height and Weight in a Community-Based Sample of Older African Americans and Whites” (Journal of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, Vol. 65A, No. 10, pp. 1123–1129) by G. Fillenbaum et al. explores the relationship between measured and self-reported height and weight. The authors sampled African American and White women and men older than 70 years of age. A hypothesis test is to be performed to decide whether, on average, self-reported weight is less than measured weight for the aforementioned age group.
