Statistics reveal that 14.3 percent of IU students were at risk for becoming overweight last year, which is defined as being at or above the 85th percentile but below the 94th percentile for body mass index by age and sex. In 2003, the same survey only recorded a risk of 11.5 percent of IU students. Body mass index is determined based on self-reported weight and height data. \n(2005 Indiana Youth Risk \nBehavior Survey)
