Scope
Body weight in Finland describes body weight for the general population and subgroups in Finland.
Definition
Causality
List of parents:
- none
Data1
Estimate is a point estimate from [1].
Data 2
Probability distribution of body weight of adults aged 18-55yr and over 55yr were extracted from [2]. For a given age group body weight data was summarized in terms of mean and the 95% confidence interval:
- 18-55yr: 77.6 (77.0-78.1),
- 55yr+: 76.5 (75.9-77.2).
Based on that a normal distribution was created. Since standard deviations (SDs) calculated from 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles were not exactly equal the larger SD was used as a standard deviation of a normal distribution.
Note: There was not measurements for ages 18-29yr, only for 30-55yr.
