Description

Age-sex-specific prevalence rates of thinness, overweight and obesity in Ukraine children based on body mass index and IOTF, WHO and CDC cut-offs.

Usage

deren

Format

A tibble with 22 observations on the following 11 variables:

Age

postnatal age from 7 to 17 completed years

Sex

two-level factor - Boys and Girls

N

integer - group sample size

IOTF18.5

thinness prevalence based on IOTF reference and 18.5 cutoff

WHO-2

thinness prevalence based on WHO reference and -2 cutoff

CDC5

thinness prevalence based on CDC reference and 5 cutoff

IOTF25

overweight prevalence based on IOTF reference and 25 cutoff

WHO+1

overweight prevalence based on WHO reference and +1 cutoff

CDC85

overweight prevalence based on CDC reference and 85 cutoff

IOTF30

obesity prevalence based on IOTF reference and 30 cutoff

WHO+2

obesity prevalence based on WHO reference and +2 cutoff

CDC95

obesity prevalence based on CDC reference and 95 cutoff

Details

Note that the overweight prevalences are for overweight excluding obesity, i.e. the prevalence for BMI between the overweight and obesity cutoffs.
