Journal ArticleDOI
Establishing a standard definition for child overweight and obesity worldwide: international survey
TL;DR: The proposed cut off points, which are less arbitrary and more internationally based than current alternatives, should help to provide internationally comparable prevalence rates of overweight and obesity in children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-ethnic reference values for spirometry for the 3–95-yr age range: the global lung function 2012 equations
Philip H. Quanjer,Sanja Stanojevic,Tim J Cole,Xaver Baur,Graham L. Hall,Bruce H. Culver,Paul L. Enright,John L. Hankinson,Mary S.M. Ip,Jinping Zheng,Janet Stocks +10 more
TL;DR: Spirometric prediction equations for the 3–95-age range are now available that include appropriate age-dependent lower limits of normal for spirometric indices, which can be applied globally to different ethnic groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body mass index cut offs to define thinness in children and adolescents: international survey
TL;DR: The proposed cut-off points should help to provide internationally comparable prevalence rates of thinness in children and adolescents consistent with the WHO adult definitions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smoothing reference centile curves: The lms method and penalized likelihood
Tim J Cole,Peter H.R. Green +1 more
TL;DR: The LMS method summarizes the changing distribution of a measurement as it changes according to some covariate by three curves representing the median, coefficient of variation and skewness, the latter expressed as a Box-Cox power.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extended international (IOTF) body mass index cut-offs for thinness, overweight and obesity.
Tim J Cole,Tim Lobstein +1 more
TL;DR: The international (International Obesity Task Force; IOTF) body mass index cut‐offs are widely used to assess the prevalence of child overweight, obesity and thinness and based on data from six countries fitted by the LMS method, they link BMI values at 18 years to child centiles, which are averaged across the countries.
