(1) Childhood obesity is at epidemic levels in 
this Nation. 
(2) A surveillance system to monitor childhood 
obesity prevalence across the United States is need-
ed to assess and address the situation. 
(3) Systems should be based on body mass 
index (‘‘BMI’’), calculated from measured height 
and weight of children, and should be implemented 
in all States and territories. 
(4) Any national system should ideally be built 
upon existing State-level public health infrastruc-
ture, such as immunization registries. 
(5) All 50 States currently maintain childhood 
immunization tracking systems; their usage to track 
childhood obesity data to build a national childhood 
obesity surveillance system would limit the need to 
create an entirely new or overlapping surveillance 
system.

obesity prevalence and trends more accurate than 
that assessed from existing survey data and can 
measure the effectiveness of obesity intervention/ 
wellness policies and programs already underway. 
(8) BMI is considered the ‘‘gold standard’’ for 
screening children for obesity, since it is based on 
routinely assessed measurements of height and 
weight. 
(9) Data should be collected by trained health 
professionals in clinical settings, not in a school set-
ting. 
(10) Data collected must be interoperable be-
tween each State and have the ability to be analyzed 
at the local level. 
(11) The robust monitoring of local obesity 
prevalence rates in children is an essential first step 
in epidemic prevention and control. There is an ur-
gent need for accurate population-based data sys-
tems to understand obesity prevalence, trends, and 
disparities among youth. The lack of data on inter-
vention programs constrains the ability of planners 
and researchers to evaluate the effectiveness of 
intervention efforts.
