AB  - The objective was to analyze body composition in children and adolescents of 
      Southern Europe to identify prevalence of overweight and obesity. This 
      investigation involved 512 girls and 488 boys between 7-to 19-years. Variables 
      evaluated were Body Mass Index (BMI) and Fat Mass (FM; electrical bioimpedance). 
      The references used to establish prevalence according to BMI were those of the 
      World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF); 
      in the case of FM, the Child Growth Foundation (CGF) reference was used. There 
      were significant differences (p < 0.05) in the prevalence of overweight and 
      obesity between the three classifications (32.3% according to IOTF, 37.3% 
      according to WHO, and 39.8% according to CGF), being higher in males. WHO-IOTF 
      concordance was substantial (kappa = 0.793), whereas concordances WHO-CGF (kappa 
      = 0.504) and IOTF-CGF (kappa = 0.447) were moderate. The authors recommend 
      evaluating overweight and obesity not only with BMI, but also with FM, and always 
      specify the references used.
