If you are concerned about your child’s results, please contact your child’s doctor and enquire if other health assessments

A physician will also consider your child’s age and growth patterns to determine whether his or her weight is healthy.

percentile to screen for overweight in children and teens starting at age 2. BMI is
used as a screening tool to identify possible weight problems for children. If
you're worried that your child may be overweight, make an appointment with your
child's doctor.

Knowing your child’s BMI and BMI percentile is the
