Weight and height were collected through a self administered questionnaire and were measured directly by trained staff. We calculated average differences for weight, height and body mass index (BMI = kg/cm2), and sensitivity specificity and concordance coefficient (k) were analyzed for overweight and obesity diagnosis.Results: Average self-reported weight was underestimated compared to measured weight, but not self-reported height. Declared BMI was underestimated -0.85 kg/cm2in women and -0.26 kg/cm2 in men. The sensitivity-specificity was 61%-89% to detect overweight, and 80%-98% to diagnose obesity.Conclusion: The self-reported weight and height underestimated the prevalence ofoverweight but not of obesity. Objetivo: Examinar la validez del peso y la estatura declarados respecto de su medición directa, para el diagnóstico de sobrepeso y obesidad en adolescentes escolarizados de la ciudad de Córdoba.Métodos: Se realizó un estudio piloto transversal con 552 adolescentes de 1° a 3° año de tres escuelas secundarias. El peso y la talla se recolectaron mediante un cuestionario autoadministrado y fueron medidos directamente por personal entrenado. Se calcularon diferencias de promedio de peso, talla e índice de masa corporal (IMC=kg/cm2) y sensibilidad-especificidad y coeficiente de concordancia (k) para las categorías de diagnóstico.Resultados: El peso declarado promedio fue subestimado respecto del medido; no así la talla. El IMC declarado resultó subestimado en -0,85 kg/cm2 en mujeres y -0,26 kg/cm2 en varones. La sensibilidad-especificidad fue 61%-89% para detectar sobrepeso y 80%-98% para diagnosticar obesidad.Conclusión: El peso y la talla autoinformados produjeron subestimación de la prevalencia de sobrepeso pero no de obesidad.
