TL;DR
Both Indians and non-Indians in Montana reported a substantial burden of CVD and prevention programs should be tailored to the risk burdens in these communities with particular emphasis on smoking cessation and the prevention of obesity.
Abstract
Both Indians and non-Indians in Montana reported a substantial burden of CVD. The CVD risk patterns differ in the two populations. Prevention programs should be tailored to the risk burdens in these communities with particular emphasis on smoking cessation and the prevention of obesity.

333 Citations1987Alistair W. Stewart, RODNEY T. JACKSON +2 more
The accuracy of the self-reported data and its effect on the misclassification of relative weight, as measured by Quetelet index, were examined and indicated that self-reports have a high degree of accuracy, however, the participants consistently overestimated their height and underestimated their weight, resulting in an underestimation ofrelative weight.
