school year 36 and relate to the same children measured during the 1999/2000 and
2000/2001 school years at year R and again six years later during the 2005/2006 and
2006/2007 school years at year 6 (a total of 1,919 boys and 1,906 girls including in the
figures). As the BMIs cannot be compared directly, references lines are included to
denote the approximately four weight categories (mean cut-off values from Table 410 as
it is not possible to present all four cut-off values for the different half-yearly age groups).
The linear regression line is also presented which illustrates that for every one point
increase on the BMI scale at 4–5 years, the BMI is increased by 1.22 points and 1.28
points at 10-11 years for boys and girls respectively. Some of this increase will be
expected as BMI does tend to increase with age until adulthood.
Figure 101: Comparison of BMI in year R and in year 6 for boys
36 A very similar pattern of change for this paired analysis was observed so the figures were not updated.
