METHODS: Residents of a retirement home network filled a questionnaire about their health beliefs regarding hypertension and obesity and self-reported their height, weight, and blood pressure. From a clinical perspective, the overall gap between the measured and the self-reported BMI (M = 1.43, SD = 2.72), which represents an absolute gap of 0.74 kilograms and 2.95 centimeters, is expected to have only a mild influence on the physician's clinical evaluation of the patient's medical condition. Our goal in this study is to examine the credibility of self-reported height, weight, and blood pressure by the elderly population living in a retirement residence to a tablet and explore the influence of health beliefs on the self-reporting credibility. ./cache/cord-329291-wx1g8i3o.txt ./txt/cord-329291-wx1g8i3o.txt
