BMI Calculator
The CDC and
the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend using a
BMI to screen for overweight and obesity in children beginning
at 2 years of age.
While a BMI calculator cannot take the place of a doctor's
assessment or visually looking at your child, it is a useful
screening tool for determining if further follow up is needed.
If your child measures in the under or overweight category
it is best to make an appointment with their pediatrician
for further assessments. A large boned child or a child with
a lot of muscles may calculate as overweight, when in fact
they are at a healthy weight.
Remember, a BMI calculation is only one step in evaluating
your child's weight status. If you have any questions, make
an appointment with your child's pediatrician.
