Two breakdowns of obesity prevalence are shown in the report:

  • Obesity prevalence calculated using the WHO 2007 growth reference cut offs.

Data from children aged 2-15 with a valid height and weight measurement are included in this dataset. 
Data from multiple HSE years were combined to produce this output (HSE 2015-2019 and 2022)
