TI  - Utility of childhood BMI in the prediction of adulthood disease: comparison of 
      national and international references.
PG  - 1106-15
AB  - OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and 
      Prevention (CDC; CDC Reference) or International Obesity Task Force (IOTF; IOTF 
      Reference) BMI cut-off points for classifying adiposity status in children are 
      more effective at predicting future health risk. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: 
      The sample (N=1709) included 4- to 15-year-old (at baseline) boys and girls from 
      the Bogalusa Heart Study. Overweight and obesity status were determined using 
      both the CDC Reference and IOTF Reference BMI cut-off points at baseline. The 
      ability of childhood overweight and obesity, determined from the two BMI 
      classification systems, to predict obesity and metabolic disorders in young 
      adulthood (after a 13- to 24-year follow-up) was then compared. RESULTS: 
      Independently of the classification system employed to determine adiposity based 
      on childhood BMI, the odds of being obese and having all of the metabolic 
      disorders in young adulthood were significantly (p<0.05) higher in the overweight 
      and obese groups by comparison with the nonoverweight groups. Childhood 
      overweight and obesity, determined by both the CDC Reference and IOTF Reference, 
      had a low sensitivity and a high specificity for predicting obesity and metabolic 
      disorders in young adulthood. Overweight and obesity as determined by the CDC 
      Reference were slightly more sensitive and slightly less specific than the 
      corresponding values based on the IOTF Reference. DISCUSSION: Overweight and 
      obesity during childhood, as determined by both the CDC and IOTF BMI cut-off 
      points, are strong predictors of obesity and coronary heart disease risk factors 
      in young adulthood. The differences in the predictive capacity of the CDC 
      Reference and IOTF Reference are, however, minimal.
