○ BMI (kg/m^2)
○ 25.0-29.9= overweight
○ 30.0-34.9= class 1 obesity
○ 25.0-39.9= class 2 obesity
○ 40+= class 3 obesity
● Children 85th to <95th percentile for age/sex= overweight
● >95th percentile is obese
● Contributor to variety of chronic disease
○ Cardiovascular disease
○ Liver disease
○ Cancer
○ Stroke
