This report provides Body Mass Index (weight/height2) values for the French population from birth to the age of 87 years. BMI curves increase during the first year, decrease until the age of 6, increase again up to 65 years and decrease thereafter. These variations reflect the total changes of fat body mass during life. The 50th centile values of Wt/Ht2 at the ages of 20, 40, 60, 80 years are 21.5, 24.6, 25.4, 24.4 kg/m2 for men and 20.6, 22.6, 24.1, 23.4 kg/m2 for women. The values for the 3rd, 50th and 97th centiles in the middle years are approximately 18, 24 and 32 kg/m2. Graphs for these and four other percentiles are plotted against age, and two other graphs summarising the variation and skewness of the Wt/Ht2 distribution are provided to calculate exact percentiles and Z-scores for individuals.
本报告提供了法国人口从出生到87岁的体重指数（体重/身高²）值。体重指数曲线在第一年上升，到6岁时下降，然后再次上升直至65岁，此后又下降。这些变化反映了一生中体脂肪量的总体变化。20岁、40岁、60岁、80岁时体重/身高²的第50百分位数，男性分别为21.5、24.6、25.4、24.4千克/平方米，女性分别为20.6、22.6、24.1、23.4千克/平方米。中年时期第3、50和97百分位数的值分别约为18、24和32千克/平方米。绘制了这些百分位数以及其他四个百分位数随年龄变化的图表，并提供了另外两张总结体重/身高²分布变化和偏度的图表，以便计算个体的精确百分位数和Z分数。
