Reliability of percentage ideal weight for height.
AIMS To assess the reliability of percentage ideal weight for height (%WFH) as a measure in children. METHODS Forty two dietitians calculated %WFH of six children. Eleven of the 42 repeated the calculations. RESULTS Interexaminer estimates varied by 16.5 to 40 percentage points (mean 27.8). Intraexaminer variability was also large. CONCLUSIONS %WFH is an unreliable measure of nutritional ...

In steady state, an individual will maintain his body weight when the input of food energy is equal to the output of energy. Under these conditions, any change in body weight indicates a change in energy balance a...
