^aNormal weight = body mass index < 85^th percentile for age and sex, overweight = body mass index ≥ 85^th - < 95^th percentile for age and sex, obese = body mass index ≥ 95^th percentile for age and sex (Kuczmarski et al[23], 2000) severely obese = absolute body mass index ≥ 35 kg/m² (Kelly et al[24], 2000).
