Frequently asked questions
Is adult BMI formula same for children?
Same formula (kg/m²) but interpretation is age and sex-specific for children — using percentile charts, not fixed cutoffs. A BMI of 18 might be obese for a 6-year-old but underweight for a 15-year-old.
Healthy BMI percentile for children?
Between 5th and 85th percentile. Below 5th = underweight. 85th-95th = overweight. Above 95th = obese.
