Computation description: | Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated as weight (in kilograms) divided by the square of height (in metres). For adults, obesity is defined as a BMI of greater than or equal to 30. For children, obesity is defined as a BMI (appropriate for age and sex) that is likely to be 30 or more at age 18 years, 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 to the 2001 Australian population. Excludes pregnant women where identified and people with an unknown BMI. Analysis by remoteness and SEIFA Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage (IRSD) is based on usual residence of person. Presented as a percentage. 95% confidence intervals and relative standard errors calculated for rates. |

Comments: | Most recent data available for 2012 CRC report: 2007–08 (total population, with the exception of estimates for children residing in the Northern Territory: NHS); 2004–05 (Indigenous status adults only: NATSIHS and NHS). NO NEW DATA FOR 2012 REPORTING 2007–08 national data based on measured values; data for Indigenous/non-Indigenous disaggregation is based on self-report. BMI derived from measured height and weight is preferable to that derived from self-reported height and weight. For further detailed analysis by Indigenous status, see the National Indigenous Reform Agreement (NIRA) report. |
