Based on age-specific BF criteria for males, the all round mean age-standardised prevalence for underweight was 3.1 (95 CI two.1, four.1), overweight 40.four (95 CI 37.7, 43.1) and obesity 24.7 (95 CI 22.two, 27.1). For women, the prevalence for underweight was three.eight (95 CI two.6, five.0), overweight 32.three (95 CI 29.5, 35.2) and obesity 29.5 (95 CI 26.7, 32.3). As outlined by BMI criteria for men, the all round imply age-standardised prevalence for underweight was 0.six (95 CI 0.2, 1.1), overweight 45.5 (95 CI 42.7, 48.2) and obesity 19.7 (95 CI 17.five, 21.9). For females, the prevalence for underweight was 1.4 (95 CI 0.7, two.0), overweight 30.three (95 CI 27.five, 33.1) and obesity 28.2Table 2 Numbers of individuals in every single BMI category (underweight, best weight, overweight and obese) stratified by sex and ageAge (yr) Guys 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 80+ All two two 0 0 two 2 3 11 Underweight Females 4 1 2 1 2 two three 15 Males 111 76 61 42 43 59 67 459 Excellent weight Ladies 103 73 63 54 46 37 27 403 Men 53 83 102 123 103 121 97 682 Overweight Women 42 34 60 58 52 53 27 326 Men 15 34 43 57 63 56 26 294 Obese Ladies 42 30 50 70 54 40 15BMI body mass index (kg/m2).

However, 80.1 of girls and 53.9 of men who had been identified as obese based on sex-and-age-specific BF criteria, had BMI 30.0 k/m2.BMI physique mass index (kg/m ); BF percentage physique fat mass.(95 CI 25.four, 31.0). As a result, the mean age-standardised prevalence for underweight for each males and girls was reduced in accordance with BMI. For men, the age-standardised prevalence for obesity was similarly lower based on BMI; for girls the difference in estimates of agestandardised prevalence for obesity according to BMI and BF was not important.Neuregulin-4/NRG4 Protein Synonyms No variations have been detected in age-standardised prevalence estimates for overweight in either sex.PMID:23910527 Agreement between categories determined by BMI and BF criteriaThere was precise agreement applying sex-and-age-specific BF and BMI criteria for categorising underweight, perfect weight, overweight and obese groups for 62.6 guys ( = 0.4) and 73.9 women ( = 0.6); agreement to inside one category was observed for 98.7 guys and 99.8 girls. WhereasDiscussion Applying sex-and-age-specific cut-points for BF equivalent to BMI 30.0 kg/m2, we report that 24.7 (95 CI 22.2, 27.1) of men and 29.5 (95 CI 26.7, 32.3) of girls were obese. The prevalence estimate for males was greater than the estimate of 19.7 (95 CI 17.5, 21.9), which was depending on BMI crite.
