a, Adjusted odds¹ of ever having a GP‐BMI record, age 5. ¹It illustrates the adjusted odds of at least one GP‐BMI record after mutual adjustment for sex, ethnic background, National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP)‐derived weight status, presence of a long‐term condition, Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) quintile, and school local authority (n = 27 741). ²Ethnic background as recorded in the NCMP and supplemented with GP ethnicity for those with missing NCMP ethnic group. ³IMD quintile based on NCMP child's home address postcode. ^aWeight status based on NCMP recorded BMI and categorized according to UK1990 clinical reference standard: “underweight” (BMI < 2nd centile), “healthy weight” (≥2nd to <91st centile), “overweight” (≥91st to <98th centile) or “obese” (≥98th centile). ^bLong‐term conditions included GP recorded diagnosis of: cystic fibrosis, type 1 diabetes, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism or learning disability or GP prescriptions for: epilepsy, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or thyroid disease. Asthma was included as a long‐term condition if both GP diagnosis and prescription were present. b, Adjusted odds¹ of ever having a GP‐BMI record, age 11. ¹It illustrates the adjusted odds of at least one GP‐BMI record after mutual adjustment for sex, ethnic background, National Child Measurement Programme‐derived weight status, presence of a long‐term condition, Index of Multiple Deprivation quintile, and school local authority (n = 24 065). ²Ethnic background as recorded in the NCMP and supplemented with GP ethnicity for those with missing NCMP ethnic group. ³IMD quintile based on NCMP child's home address postcode. ^aWeight status based on NCMP recorded BMI and categorized according to UK1990 clinical reference standard: “underweight” (BMI < 2nd centile), “healthy weight” (≥2nd to <91st centile), “overweight” (≥91st to <98th centile) or “obese” (≥98th centile). ^bLong‐term conditions included GP recorded diagnosis of: cystic fibrosis, type 1 diabetes, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism or learning disability or GP prescriptions for: epilepsy, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or thyroid disease.
