Abstract(s)

Introduction: Reliable and precise estimates of high blood pressure prevalence are essential to inform decision-making and policies evaluation. Self-reported high blood pressure prevalence may be underestimated by surveys due to misclassification of health status by participants. Ignoring misclassification may lead to inaccurate inference. We aimed to assess a feasibility of correcting misclassification bias in self-reported high blood pressure in the Portuguese component of the European Health Interview Survey (INS2014) using data on objective blood pressure measurements from a smaller health examination survey survey (INSEF2015).
