Body Mass Index Children Europe

BMI children EuropeThis module calculates Body Mass Index for children up to 18 and classifies the result according to the guidelines accepted by most European countries.

Instructions:
1. Enter values for gender, age, height and weight.
2. The result is interpreted within three categories: Normal weight, Overweight and Obesity.

BMI
17.8
OK
Height
lbs
80
Weight
ft' in''
4'11"
Age
Yrs
12

 

Background:

The European norms are based on calculating the percentiles at each age, that would correspond to BMI 25 and BMI 30 at age 18. A reference material from several countries is used - also from non-European countries.

Important: The BMI guidelines based on this source are not used to define "underweight" as BMI is a very poor predictor for this in children. Therefore, the term "Normal weight" should be interpreted as "Not overweight".

Hi! I have been suffering from AN this past year but I am recovering since july. This week I turn 14 and I have 175cm. I was always "underweight' even at my pre ed weight bc that is how I am. I remember doing a bmi test with dad for fun when I was 11-12 and I had a bmi 16.3. My highest weight was 49.7 kg. Now I eat 3000 calories and I gain very slow. A month ago I had 46kg but now I have 46.8-46.9. Is that normal to eat such a big aount of food? I used to eat about like this, I do not remember well... Any recommandations ?
