Based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) growth charts:

BMI percentile<5th was defined as underweight; BMI percentile ≥5th and<85th was defined as normal weight; BMI percentile ≥85th and <95th was defined as overweight; and BMI percentile ≥95th was defined as obese.

BMI, body mass index; ET, end of treatment; OLE, open-label extension; RCT, randomized controlled trial.
