Obesity is defined as:
- a. Weight-for-age percentile ≥85th to 94th
- b. Weight-for-age percentile ≥95th
- c. Weight-for-length percentile ≥95th
- d. BMI-for-age percentile ≥85th to 94th
- e. BMI-for-age percentile ≥95th
Introduction: Obesity can be defined as accumulation of excess of body fat. It is a leading cause of serious health problems such as cardiac disease, metabolic syndrome, and many other diseases.
Reason for the correct answer:
Option e. is given as “BMI-for-age percentile ≥ 95th”.
Body mass index (BMI) is a good indicator of weight status. However, in children, BMI changes as the child grows. Therefore, BMI-for-age percentile is a good indicator of weight status in children. BMI-for-age percentile > 95th is often used as a reference for obesity.
Hence, option e. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect answers:
Option a. is given as “Weight-for-age percentile ≥ 85th to 94th”.
Weight-for-age percentile ≥ 85th to 94th indicates that a child is overweight, but further consideration of length-for-age percentile or BMI-for-age percentile is also needed to accurately determine the weight status.
Hence, option a. is a wrong answer.
Option b. is given as “Weight-for-age percentile ≥ 95th”...
