• Obesity in children and young people: a crisis in public health. (2004, background): “In China, the prevalence of underweight (<5 percentile BMI of the US NCHS reference) was 9% among children aged 6–9 years, and 15% among children aged 10–18, in 1997 (67).”
• Prevalence of overweight among children in Europe (2003, background): “Studies of the links between obesity and family socioeconomic status suggest that excess weight gain among children is more prevalent among higher income families in less industrialized societies, especially as they move to urban areas, and among lower income families in more industrialized societie”
