| Computation description: | Body Mass Index (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 a 'normal' 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 cutoff values for children. Rates are directly age-standardised to the 2001 Australian population. 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 a healthy body weight. |
| Numerator data elements: | |
| Denominator: | Adults: Population aged 18 years or over Children: Population aged 5–17 years |
| Denominator data elements: | |
| Disaggregation: | 2011–12 (updated for full AHS sample)—State and territory. Some disaggregation may result in numbers too small for publication. |

| Comments: | Most recent data available for 2014 Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Reform Council (CRC) report: 2011–12. Baseline: 2007–08 2011–12 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. For detailed analysis by Indigenous status, see the CRC National Indigenous Reform Agreement (NIRA) report. |
