BMI for children - Child BMI Calculator

This website is specially designed to calculate the BMI of children. Results will differ between children and adults. The BMI calculation itself remains the same but there are different interpretations of the results for each age group under eighteen. The interpretation of the results fits into one of four categories: underweight, normal, overweight and obese. A further distinction is made between the BMI of boys and girls. The interpretation of the results differs based on the gender. The above BMI calculator takes all these nuances into account. You can fill in all the required information: the weight, height, gender and age of your child. Their BMI is then calculated and you receive the correct interpretation. One disadvantage of the BMI is that no distinction can be made between weight accounted for by fat and weight accounted for by muscles. The BMI sometimes receives criticism for this reason. For high-level athletes, older people and pregnant women, the BMI must be measured differently. An alternative method for determining whether or not you are at a healthy weight works as follows: measure the circumference of your waist and then check to see that this is no more than half your weight. Having a healthy weight leads to longer life and helps to avoid health problems such as diabetes, cholesterol and heart disease. A healthy diet low in sugars and fats. Try to eat a varied diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Avoid foods that contain preservatives and colourings. If you are overweight, consider dieting.
