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. |
