Maternal BMI was calculated based upon maternal height and weight measurements provided during pregnancy booking between gestational weeks 10 and 12. Women were grouped into the following six BMI categories: ≤19.9 kg/m (underweight), 20 24.9 kg/m (normal weight) 25 29.9 kg/m (overweight), 30 34.9 kg/m (obese), 35 39.9 kg/m (very obese) and >40 kg/m (morbidly obese).
They report that gender-specific reference equations based upon age, height and weight explained 40% of the variance in 6MWT-distance, wasch wasignificantlylessess for men and women who were older and heavier, and for shorter men.
The primary outcomes were BMI z-score, based upon age-and sex-specific reference values [ 14], and the waist-to-height ratio (WHtR).
They depict the relationship between stand density, average tree size, stand yield and dominant height, based upon relevant ecological and allometric relationships such as the self-thinning rule, the yield-density effect, and site index curves.
These findings, based upon measured weight and height, reflect a substantial and alarming increase in childhood obesity over the past two decades.

Height is transformed to z-scores based upon age and gender related reference charts [ 82].
The questionnaires were framed based upon inclusion and exclusion criteria for this study and also included information on age, sex, height and weight of the children.
BSA was calculated based on height and weight.
