Notes:
1) Body Mass Index = [weight(kg) / height(m) squared]

 The symbol '.'  shall be deemed as datum which cannot be given due to an insufficient sample
 The symbol '..' shall be deemed as datum which is not collected for that classification of the table
 The data corresponding to cells with less than 35 thousand persons must be considered with caution, as they may be affected by a high degree of sampling error
