Data are expressed as number only, mean ± standard deviation, or median (interquartile range).

Normal weight, body mass index (BMI) of 85th percentile in children and <25 kg/m2 in adults. Excessive weight includes individuals with overweight as well as obesity (BMI of ≥85th percentile in children and ≥25 kg/m2 in adults).

All body weights in the excessive weight group are significantly higher than body weight in normal weight (p < 0.01). The body weights in the male groups are significantly higher than that in the female group by each age group (p < 0.01) except in the 3–10-year age group.
