All children are different in BMI. It's important to talk to your child's pediatrician to find out if your child is overweight. If so, your doctor can put her on a nutritional diet.
Your BMI (body mass index) is 20, so no, you are not overweight. Your BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by (your length times your length) in meters. For example: you are 120 pounds = 54,4 kg you are 5'5 = 1.65 m 54/(1.65x1.65) = 19,98 = 20 And if your BMI is between 17 and 24 you are not overweight. So you are not overweight =]
Depending on the context, BMI could mean Body Mass Index. It is a rough measure of whether or not a person is overweight (or underweight) and is calculated as the mass (in kilograms) divided by the square of the height (in metres). A BMI of 30 is the borderline between overweight and obese.
It depends on the child's height and how much muscle the child has. If the child is short and has no muscle, the the child probably is overweight. However, a tall, muscular, child may be perfectly normal. You can check the BMI of the child at: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmi-m.htm However, the BMI is only a preliminary indicator. You should really go and talk to a doctor to make sure. Whether the child is considered overweight though is not as important though as whether the child is unhealthy. Proper diet and exercise are the keys-- and parents should support their kids by giving them good food and promoting excercise.
First of all I think you would see it if a child is overweight, so use your eyes. Also look out for increased BMI, increased abdominal girth. To be sure check a doctor.
