TY - JOUR AU - Bopp, Matthias AU - Faeh, David PY - 2008 DA - 2008/09/30 TI - End-digits preference for self-reported height depends on language JO - BMC Public Health SP - 342 VL - 8 IS - 1 AB - When individuals report figures, they often prefer to round to specific end-digits (e.g. zero). Such preference has been found in reports of body weight, cigarette consumption or blood pressure measurements. Very little is known about self-reported body height. End-digit preference can distort estimates of prevalence and other statistical parameters. This study examines end-digit preference for self-reported height and how it relates with sex, age, educational level or cultural affiliation.
