Hi, Marit.
I don't think this paper criticises the charts - it makes the
observation that because most UK infants are not fed physiologcally
*more* of them will appear to be at risk of obesity, because of
previous benchmarks for this.
This is a dilemma for the healthcare professional and the resarch,
not a weakness of the charts.
It's been known for some time that the new charts (in use since 2009,
IIRC) would give rise to this phenomenon.
We need a better way of assessing obesity risk.
