[Evaluation, correction and impact of non-response in studies of childhood obesity].

CONCLUSIONS: The presence of participation bias, which was greater at 12-15 years old, was confirmed. However, the impact of the bias on prevalence was negligible due to the high participation rate. In obesity studies with objective measures, it is essential to quantify non-participation, as well as to assess its impact and correct it. PMID: 28958571 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
