Notes:

BMI (Body mass index) is the measurement of studying obesity. BMI uses a mathematical formula that takes into account both a person's height and weight. BMI equals a person's weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Healthcare professionals use the following established percentile cutoff points to identify underweight and overweight in children:

  • Underweigh: BMI-for-age < 5th percentile.
  • Normal: BMI-for-age 5th percentile to 84th percentile.
  • At risk of overweight: BMI-for-age 85th percentile to 95th percentile.
  • Overweight: BMI-for-age > 95th percentile.

    According to the Adult Treatment Panel III criteria, the metabolic syndrome is identified by the presence of three or more of these components:
  • Overweight.
  • Fasting blood triglycerides greater than or equal to 150 mg/dL.
  • Blood HDL cholesterol: less than 40 mg/dL (men) or less than 50 mg/dL (women).
  • Blood pressure greater than or equal to systolic 130 mmHg and diastolic 85 mmHg.
  • Fasting glucose greater than or equal to 100 mg/dL.
