The purpose of this study was to examine the discrepancies between perceived and reported overweight status among U.S. adolescents (n > 70,000), and to identify factors contributing to such discrepancies. We used the YRBSS data (years 2001-2009) and found statistically significant, gender and race specific discrepancies between perceived and reported overweight status. Factors such as BMI, school performance, and being sexually active are additional predictors of overweight misperception. The findings suggest that evidence based strategies should be employed to help adolescents establish correct weight perception. These strategies should also be tailored based on gender, race, and weight perception of target audience. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
