LOINC description : Current Weight - Measured Current measured weight is the weight in kilograms or pounds
of the participant. Current Weight - Self-Reported* Self-reported weight is the weight
in kilograms or pounds as reported by the participant. *NOTE: Self-reported weight
values are considered to be less accurate and are only used when measured weight cannot
be obtained. Current weight is used to assess participant's growth, development, and
current health status. Overweight status is associated with various co-morbidities,
including Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension. The observer
should determine whether the woman is pregnant and, if she is pregnant, request how
many weeks pregnant. Pregnancy status may be sensitive information, so the participants
should be asked this in a private setting.;
