will be used throughout this report (MH Treasury 2004). This means the figures<br />

presented here may differ slightly from those for Hull quoted in forthcoming reports from<br />

the NHS Information Centre and Public Health Observatories. Children are defined as<br />

obese if their BMI is above the 95 th centile of the reference curve for their age and sex<br />

according to the UK BMI centile classification (Cole, Freeman et al. 1995). Similarly<br />

children are classified as overweight if their BMI is above the 85 th centile. Since<br />

expected BMI measurements vary over the ages 4½ years to 6 years, and 10 to 12<br />

years, BMI thresholds for weight categories were defined at 6 monthly intervals and<br />

used to classify underweight, desirable/healthy weight, overweight and obese, as<br />

illustrated in Table 410. This classification is different from the technically superior one<br />

that was used in earlier local childhood obesity reports (Chinn and Rona 2004), so<br />

prevalence within BMI categories will not be directly comparable.<br />
