Adolescents who are Obese

This indicator shows the percentage of adolescents ages 12 to 19 attending public school who are obese (i.e., >= 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 (m) ^ 2] )
