Change in specific parameters of the BMI distribution (5th and 95th percentile and SD) or categories of BMI (underweight, overweight, obese) versus change in mean or median BMI.

<p>Change is calculated from baseline survey to most recent survey and each data point is represented by a two-letter country code. Multilevel models across all country-survey cycles are contained in <a href="http://www.plosmedicine.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pmed.1001367#pmed-1001367-t002" target="_blank">Table 2</a>.</p

Population distribution of BMI over time in Bangladesh, Bolivia, Ghana, Peru, and Egypt.

<p>BMI histograms (panels on left). Vertical reference lines (dotted) represent established thresholds for BMI: 16.0 (chronic energy deficiency), 18.5 (underweight), 25.0 (overweight), and 30.0 (obese). Shaded regions represent proportion with BMI<16.0 or >25.0 in Bangladesh and proportion with BMI <18.5 or >30.0 in Bolivia, Ghana, Peru, and Egypt. QQ plots (panels on right). <i>x</i>-axis BMI at the baseline survey. <i>y</i>-axis BMI at successive survey cycles. The diagonal line <i>y</i> = <i>x</i> is the line of equality between baseline survey and subsequent survey. Vertical reference lines (dotted) represent the 10th, 50th, and 90th percentile, with the value of BMI at the baseline survey at the top of each line.</p

<p>The observed pattern of change (from <a href="http://www.plosmedicine.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pmed.1001367#pmed-1001367-g002" target="_blank">Figure 2</a>) in green, uniform change model in red, and a proposed model of ideal change in blue. The corresponding table indicates impact of each model of change on (1) mean BMI, (2) dispersion of BMI, and (3) risk level of low and high BMI population segments.</p
