Teens who are Overweight
This indicator shows the percentage of public school students in grades 9-12 who are overweight (i.e., >= 85th percentile but < 95th percentile for body mass index, by age and sex, based on reference data). The BMI is calculated by taking a person's weight and dividing it by their height squared in metric units. (BMI = Weight (Kg)/[Height (cm) ^ 2] )
