The 2000 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention growth charts are unable to accurately define and display BMI percentiles beyond the 97th percentile. At Children's Hospital Colorado, we created new growth charts that allow clinicians to track and visualize BMI values in severely obese children. This growth chart defines a child's BMI as a "percentage of the 95th percentile." It has the potential to allow clinicians to define subgroups of severe obesity, monitor trends in obese children, and measure treatment success or failure.
2000 年疾病预防控制中心生长图表无法准确定义和显示超过第 97 百分位的 BMI 百分位数。在科罗拉多儿童医院,我们创建了新的生长图表,使临床医生能够跟踪和可视化严重肥胖儿童的 BMI 值。该生长图表将儿童的 BMI 定义为“第 95 百分位的百分比”。它有可能使临床医生能够定义严重肥胖的亚组,监测肥胖儿童的趋势,并衡量治疗的成功或失败。
