- BMI indicates body mass index
- * Risk factor changes in the older population aged 65–74 years, where data was generally lacking, were conservatively assumed to rise at half the rate of the increases seen in younger age groups (data for this age group not shown in table).
- † Recent trends already represent an annual fall of approximately 0.5%.
