Geographical Differences in the Population-Based Cross-Sectional Growth Curve and Age at Peak Height Velocity with respect to the Prevalence Rate of Overweight in Japanese Children

Figure 2

Distribution map of the standardized prevalence rate of overweight in Japanese children. Distribution map of 8-year (2006–2013) averages of the standardized prevalence rate of overweight in (a) 5-year-old males and (b) 5-year-old females in each prefecture. The prevalence rate of overweight in Japanese children tends to be greater in the northern areas and in Tokushima and Okinawa prefectures for both sexes.
