Hi, I just found this:

The risk of obesity by assessing infant growth against the UK-WHO
charts compared to the UK90 reference: findings from the Born in
Bradford birth cohort study
William Johnson1*, John Wright2 and Noël Cameron3

http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2431/12/104

Conclusions
The change to the UK-WHO charts means that normal UK infants risk
being diagnosed as being on a trajectory toward childhood obesity.
National estimates of obesity will have to be recalculated for
previous years to allow longitudinal comparison. The new charts do not
allow a focused prevention effort for targeting programmes at infants
most at risk of becoming obese, because the use of the 91st or 98th
centile on the UK-WHO charts will identify many more infants as being
at risk than the same centiles on the UK90 reference. Now more than
ever, research is needed to develop a large scale childhood obesity
prevention programme which could ideally be integrated with routine
infant growth monitoring practice.

Has this been discussed on Lactnet? Where do I find more information
on this subject?
