Based on age-specific BF criteria for guys, the general mean age-standardised prevalence for underweight was 3.1 (95 CI two.1, four.1), overweight 40.4 (95 CI 37.7, 43.1) and obesity 24.7 (95 CI 22.2, 27.1). For girls, the prevalence for underweight was three.eight (95 CI two.6, 5.0), overweight 32.three (95 CI 29.5, 35.2) and obesity 29.five (95 CI 26.7, 32.three). According to BMI criteria for males, the all round mean age-standardised prevalence for underweight was 0.six (95 CI 0.two, 1.1), overweight 45.five (95 CI 42.7, 48.2) and obesity 19.7 (95 CI 17.5, 21.9). For women, the prevalence for underweight was 1.4 (95 CI 0.7, two.0), overweight 30.3 (95 CI 27.five, 33.1) and obesity 28.2Table 2 Numbers of people in every single BMI category (underweight, best weight, overweight and obese) stratified by sex and ageAge (yr) Males 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 80+ All two 2 0 0 two 2 three 11 Underweight Women 4 1 2 1 two two 3 15 Guys 111 76 61 42 43 59 67 459 Best weight Females 103 73 63 54 46 37 27 403 Guys 53 83 102 123 103 121 97 682 Overweight Ladies 42 34 60 58 52 53 27 326 Males 15 34 43 57 63 56 26 294 Obese Women 42 30 50 70 54 40 15BMI physique mass index (kg/m2).

On the other hand, 80.1 of ladies and 53.9 of guys who have been identified as obese in accordance with sex-and-age-specific BF criteria, had BMI 30.0 k/m2.BMI body mass index (kg/m ); BF percentage body fat mass.(95 CI 25.4, 31.0). Thus, the mean age-standardised prevalence for underweight for both guys and women was reduce in line with BMI. For guys, the age-standardised prevalence for obesity was similarly reduce according to BMI; for females the distinction in estimates of agestandardised prevalence for obesity depending on BMI and BF was not considerable. No variations have been detected in age-standardised prevalence estimates for overweight in either sex.Agreement involving categories based on BMI and BF criteriaThere was precise agreement working with sex-and-age-specific BF and BMI criteria for categorising underweight, excellent weight, overweight and obese groups for 62.six males ( = 0.four) and 73.9 girls ( = 0.six); agreement to within one particular category was observed for 98.7 men and 99.eight women. WhereasDiscussion Employing sex-and-age-specific cut-points for BF equivalent to BMI 30.0 kg/m2, we report that 24.7 (95 CI 22.two, 27.1) of men and 29.five (95 CI 26.7, 32.three) of ladies have been obese. The prevalence estimate for guys was greater than the estimate of 19.7 (95 CI 17.five, 21.9), which was determined by BMI crite.
