Obesity among British children is rising
Reilly et al measured the body mass index of a cohort of about
1000 children in the Bristol-Avon area born in 1991-2 to assess the
prevalence of obesity at 24, 49, and 61 months (p 1039). They used the
85th and 95th centiles of 1990 reference data
to define, respectively, overweight and obesity. There were no
differences between boys and girls in the cohort, but the prevalence of
obesity significantly exceed expected frequencies at 49 and 61 months.
