Computation description: | BMI is calculated as weight (in kilograms) divided by the square of height (in metres). For adults, healthy weight is defined as a BMI of greater than or equal to 18.5 and less than 25.0. For children, healthy weight is defined as BMI (appropriate for age and sex), based on centile curves. See ABS National Health Survey: Users’ Guide Electronic Publication, 2007–08 (ABS Catalogue no. 4363.0.55.001) for BMI values. Rates are directly age-standardised. Excludes pregnant women where identified and people with an unknown BMI. Presented as a percentage. 95% confidence intervals and relative standard errors calculated for rates. |
Computation: | 100 × (Numerator ÷ Denominator) Calculated separately for adults and children |
Numerator: | Adults: Number of persons aged 18 years or over with a healthy body weight. Children: Number of persons aged 5–17 years with healthy body weight. |

Denominator: | Adults: Population aged 18 years or over Children: Population aged 5–17 years |

Disaggregation: | State and territory Disaggregations within individual jurisdictions are subject to data quality considerations. Some disaggregations may result in numbers too small for publication. |

Comments: | 2007–08 national data are based on measured values. BMI derived from measured height and weight is preferable to that derived from self-reported height and weight. Most recent data available for 2011 CRC report: 2007–08 Baseline: 2007–08 NO NEW DATA FOR 2011 REPORTING.
