Missoula County BMI Surveillance Project

Let’s Move! Missoula collected the body mass index (BMI) measurements from third graders in Missoula County for 9 years. The Missoula County BMI Surveillance Project tracked our population’s health. It was not used for individual diagnoses or screening. Measurements were completely anonymous and children could opt out.

We no longer collect BMI surveillance data. If you would like to see reports and data from when the BMI Surveillance Project was active, please email [email protected].

Let’s Move! Missoula works to create healthy environments where all Missoulians live, work, learn, and play.

We partner with local businesses and organizations to promote healthy options for employees. Let’s Move! Missoula will work with you to identify healthy practices you’re already engaged in and ones you can adopt. As an affiliate, we will promote and publicize your business or organization on the Let’s Move! Missoula website and marketing materials.
