Belgian

The Belgian data are reproduced from the published DINBelg dataset 2005 (www.dinbelg.be), by kind permission. The data have not been processed, except by application of the wtable process to give a representative asymmetric distribution of  fatty dimensions.

According to the Belgian Health Interview Survey, from 2004 to 2018 Belgian adults increased their overall BMI, from 25.4 to 25.9 among men, and from 24.5 to 25.0 among women.  This indicates an increase in weight relative to stature, but the specific stature and weight data are not presented, so we have not been able to estimate dimensional changes.
