Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The BMI (body mass index – standard deviation) is the measure for the weight and sex of a child. BMI is calculated by dividing body mass (in kilograms) with height (in meters) squared. Each age group has an adjusted and predefined BMI z-score value, which shows the physical well-being of a child. Given below are the values representing three age groups with different BMI z-score values before puberty and after puberty.
