Childhood Obesity Fact Sheets
which present selected results related to the obesity epidemic among youth, by
state and city.
* Previous YRBS reports used the terms
"overweight" to describe those youth with a BMI
≥ to 95th percentile for age and sex
and "at risk for overweight" for those with a BMI
≥ 85th percentile and
< 95th percentile. However, this
report uses the terms "obese" and "overweight" in accordance with the
2007 recommendations from the Expert Committee on the Assessment,
Prevention, and Treatment of Child and Adolescent Overweight and Obesity
convened by the American Medical Association (AMA) and cofunded by AMA
in collaboration with the Health Resources and Services Administration
and the CDC.
