The YRBSS monitors health-related behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of death and disability among youth and adults.[https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/data/yrbs/] For the other question item on how the individual describes their weight, use Self-perception of body weight [LOINC: 90730-3].
