The SAS code for calculating Weight-for-Age categories was obtained
from the National Center for Health Statistics' website entitled, "2000
CDC Growth Charts: United States" (www.cdc.gov/growthcharts). The
calculations use the 2000 CDC growth charts, by AGE and SEX, as the
standard for assessing weight status. Implausible values of height,
weight or BMI were excluded from the results, using World Health
Organization fixed exclusion ranges.
^Use caution in interpreting cell sizes
less than 50. N = numerator, % = Percentage, C.I.(95%) = Confidence
Interval (at 95 percent probability level).
Percentages are weighted to population characteristics and therefore
cannot be calculated exactly from the numbers in this table.
