Extended international (<scp>IOTF</scp>) body mass index cut‐offs for thinness, overweight and obesity

Short summary

New International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) body mass index (BMI) cut-offs, derived from averaged LMS curves across six countries, are virtually identical to the originals (<0.2% prevalence difference) but can now be expressed as specific BMI centiles (e.g., 98.9th for boys' obesity), enabling direct comparison with other references like the WHO standard.
