Document Summary
Between 2009-2011, a reported 32. 8% of 5-11 yr olds were overweight or obese. 1/5 children between 12-17 yrs old are overweight. Approximately 1/3 of normal weight 20 yr olds will become overweight within 8 years. Approximately 1/3 of overweight 20 yr olds will become obese within 8 years. If this trend continues, in 20 years we can expect 70% of the 35-44 yr olds in canda to be overweight or obese vs 57% who are currently overweight or obese. Bmi is used to define overweight and obesity in adults: adult ideal: 18. 5-24. 9 kg/m2, overweight: 25-30 kg/m2, obese: over 30 kg/m2. Ideal weight: 5th-85th percentile: obese: over 95th percentile, at or above the 95th percentile for bmi for their gender and age is considered obese. The who charts are recommended for use with canadian children, as of 2010: the cutoffs for these charts were broken down into three categories for children, birth-2 yrs old, 2-5 yrs old, 5-19 yrs old.
