What's a health BMI for a toddler?
Answers
-
Accepted AnswerBMI, or Body Mass Index, is calculated by using a child's height and weight. Therefore, since children come in different sizes and shapes, that number is not the same for all of them.
You can read about how to calculate and interpret BMI for children and teens here:
