Abstract

Accuracy of body weight perception is essential for older adults. Many previous studies suggested that misperception of body weight may be an obstacle to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. However, the prevalence and associated factors in the older Koran population are still unclear. This study aimed to examine the prevalence and identify associated factors contributing to the discordance of weight perception among older Korean adults. Using nationally representative data from the 2018 KNHANES VIII-1, 2,907 participants aged 65 or over were included in this study. Body weight misperception was defined as self-reported body weight inconsistent with the participant’s actual body mass index (BMI). Data were analyzed using complex.
