Number of children with a body mass index (BMI) indicating they are thin, healthy weight, overweight or obese in New Zealand as of June 2018
The revised International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) BMI reference values are used to classify children as either overweight or obese. The IOTF cut-off points are sex- and age-specific, and designed to coincide with the World Health Organization’s adult BMI cut-off points. The BMI cut-off points that were
used in this survey were as follows:
thin = equivalent to a BMI of 18.5 or lower in adults (refers to children who have a low BMI for their age, rather then children who are underweight)
healthy weight = equivalent to a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 in adults
overweight but not obese = equivalent to a BMI between 25.0 and 29.9 in adults
obese = equivalent to a BMI of 30.0 or greater in adults.
