  1. ICC: Intraclass correlation; CI: confidence interval; BMI: Body Mass Index; sd: standard deviation.
  2. a mean difference calculated using self-reported weight minus measured weight.
  3. *Missing data for informed group: 3 missing for weight, 3 missing for height; subsequently 6 missing for BMI.
  4. **Missing data for uninformed group: 2 missing for weight, 6 missing for height; subsequently 6 missing for BMI.
