AP Corrects Overweight Kids Story
December 18, 2001

CHICAGO (AP) - In a Dec. 11 story on overweight children, The Associated Press reported the wrong figure for a body-mass percentage.

Researchers found that by 1998, 25.8 percent of white children - not nearly 29 percent - had a body-mass index higher than 85 percent of their peers, based on standard growth charts from the 1960s to 1980s.
