The correlation between BMI percentile and sum of skinfolds was low (r(46) = .42, p = .004) and suggested that over one-third of the children were placed in the wrong weight group (inconsistently classified). Trends were also found in accelerometer counts, observed intensity levels and ...

For children with multiple admissions, only the first admission was considered. BMI percentile (%ile) was calculated to assign Results Of 278 children, 13 (4.7%) were underweight, 168 (60.4%) were normal weight, 34 (12.2%) were at risk for overweight, and 63 (22.6%) were overweight. ...

Therefore, we conducted a prospective study to comprehensively evaluate the association between diverse adiposity indices (BMI, WC, and PBF) and hypertension risk in 1526 Chinese children and adolescents with normal weight (<85th age- and sex-specific BMI percentile), after adjustment for several ...
BMI was calculated by dividing body weight in kilograms by height in meters squared. Body weight categories were determined from BMI percentile using The Centers for Disease Control software as follows: underweight, <5th percentile; normal weight, 5th–84th percentile; overweight, 85th–94th percenti...
