| Age group | At risk of overweight a | Overweight a | ||

| n | (%) | n | (%) | |
| 6 months old (n=2374) | — | — | 214 | (9.0) |

a The weight-for-length percentiles were used to classify children 6 and 12 months old and 1–2 years old as 'overweight' (
95th percentile), while children 2–5 years old were classified as 'at risk of overweight' (85th and <95th percentile) and 'overweight' (95th percentile) using the BMI-for-age percentiles.
