> WASHINGTON (AP) -- For the first time in 23 years, the
> government
> is updating the charts used to track children's growth and adding a
> new formula to help identify weight problems in children as young
> as 2.
> The charts, a staple in the offices of pediatricians and school
>
> nurses around the country, now include the body mass index, or BMI,
> a single number that compares weight to height. It's already used
> to track obesity among adults.
> The new charts from the Centers for Disease Control and
> Prevention also should more accurately reflect the average height
> and weight of U.S. children from birth to age 3, because they are
> based on more recent and much more comprehensive data than the old
> charts for babies and toddlers. The changes are minor except for
> the lightest and heaviest children, CDC officials said.
> ``One of the first questions people ask new parents is 'How much
>
> did your baby weigh?''' said Secretary of Health and Human Services
> Donna Shalala. ``From that moment on, growth charts are a reference
> point for health professionals and parents as their children grow
> into adolescents and adulthood.''
> The new research found babies and toddlers to be slightly
> heavier than in the previous charts, and also found infants in the
> first few months have larger head circumferences than the older
> charts showed.
> For example, in a previous chart, a 3-year-old girl at the 50th
>
> percentile -- or the chart's halfway point -- would be 32.6 pounds
> and 38.4 inches in length. On the new chart, the 50th percentile is
> 33.3 pounds and 38.7 inches.
> As a result, pediatricians will classify more babies as
> underweight and fewer as overweight, said officials at CDC's
> National Center for Health Statistics, which published the charts.
> On the new charts, a 22.5-pound 2-year-old girl would be in the
>
> 5th percentile, which is considered underweight by many doctors
> depending on how long the child measured. On the old chart, the
> same child would have been in the 10th percentile, lean but not
> necessarily underweight.
> The new BMI charts, which begin at age 2, are a more accurate
> tool for measuring obesity than older charts that included a
> measurement of weight according to height, officials said.
> ``This means parents have an opportunity to change their
> children's eating habits before a weight problem ever develops,''
> said Shalala.
> A 2-year-old boy in the 50th percentile, or middle range, would
>
> have a BMI of 16.5. A boy with a score of 19.8 would be in the 95th
> percentile -- meaning the vast majority of boys his age have a lower
> BMI. Kids at the 95th percentile are considered overweight and
> those at the 85th percentile are considered at risk.
> Obesity is a growing national health problem among both adults
> and children. Nearly one in five American adults are obese and the
> number of obese children has doubled in the past 20 years to about
> 4.5 million kids, or 11 percent of youngsters ages 6 to 17,
> according to the latest government studies.
> Health professionals believe that catching the problem is
> important in preventing children from going on to have weight
> problems or becoming obese later in life.
> The new charts use government data from the last three decades
> about formula- and breast-fed children from all racial and ethnic
> groups. The old charts were based on a private study during the
> 1960s and 1970s that looked only at white, formula-fed children in
> Ohio.
