AB  - OBJECTIVE: The research sought to determine the reliability of assessing 
      adolescents' weight status based on three standard criteria, Centers for Disease 
      Control and Prevention (CDC) growth charts, International Obesity Task Force 
      (IOTF) standards, and the World Health Organization (WHO) growth references. 
      METHODS: Data from the NEXT Generation Health Study US 10th grade cohort (n=2323, 
      mean age=16.19years) starting in 2009 were used. Kappa statistics assessed 
      agreement of assignment to weight categories. Associations of weight status with 
      perceived body image, weight control intention, and general health were examined 
      using linear regressions accounting for complex survey design. RESULTS: Kappas 
      across weight status criteria were>/=.89 and agreement exceeded 90% in all 
      analyses. For all three criteria, overweight and obese participants, compared to 
      normal weight, were significantly more likely to indicate fatter body image, 
      higher weight control intention, and poorer general health; small differences in 
      the regression coefficients by classification method were observed. CONCLUSION: 
      The three criteria of weight status classifications substantially agreed. 
      Associations of weight status with selected health correlates were similar 
      regardless of the methods. Thus, the three classifications can be considered 
      comparable for most research and practice purposes.
