The data sets describe the distribution of the weight groups according to BMI percentiles in the children examined for school enrolment for the reporting districts and district-free cities in North Rhine-Westphalia. These were recorded both in absolute and percentage terms with regard to the total number of students examined. There was a distinction between male and female. Furthermore, the distribution of weight groups by BMI percentiles is recorded over time for North Rhine-Westphalia as a whole. On the homepage of the Landeszentrum Gesundheit Nordrhein-Westfalen you will find further presentations on the indicators:
Body Mass Index (BMI), Children at school entrance examination, gender
Body Mass Index (BMI), Children at school entrance examination, Trend
To explain and simplify the data interpretation, you will also find a description of the indicator as a word document. You can also find further information on the topic of health-relevant behaviour here.
