The international (International Obesity Task Force; IOTF) body mass index cut‐offs are widely used to assess the prevalence of child overweight, obesity and thinness and based on data from six countries fitted by the LMS method, they link BMI values at 18 years to child centiles, which are averaged across the countries.
