AB  - Body mass index (BMI) curves are very useful tools to supervise corpulence during 
      growth and to detect children at risk of overweight and obesity early. In 2009, 
      the French National Nutrition Health Program decided to update the BMI curves 
      used in France. A working group was then created, coordinated by the committee on 
      nutrition of the societe francaise de pediatrie and by the association pour la 
      prevention de l'obesite en pediatrie. This article discusses the criteria adopted 
      in elaborating the new curves among the existing references and curves (French 
      references, the International Obesity Task Force [IOTF], the World Health 
      Organization [WHO] standards). It presents recommendations for using the new 
      curves and the BMI values used to define weight insufficiency, overweight, and 
      obesity according to the references utilized.
