2. • For more than a century, the Body Mass
Index (BMI) has been a useful tool for
detecting potential weight problems and
the associated health risks. The BMI is
simply a ratio of height to weight, and is
easily calculated. What is important,
however, is to understand what is
considered a healthy range and what is
considered unhealthy.

3. • The BMI for children is calculated the
same way as that for adults, but the
numbers are compared to norms for
children of the same age and gender.

4. • 1) Weigh the child and multiply this
number by 703.
• 2) Measure the child's height in inches,
and square this number (multiply it by
itself).
• 3) Divide the first number by the second
number. This will produce the child's BMI

5. • Overweight
• Depending on age and height, boys are
considered overweight if their BMI is more
than 30. For girls, a BMI of more than 32 is
considered overweight.
• Underweight
• Depending on age and height, boys are
considered underweight if their BMI is
less than 14. For girls, a BMI of less than
13 is considered underweight.
