BMI categories for children

Unlike adults, healthy BMI for children depends on age and sex. The CDC uses growth charts to assign BMI-for-age percentiles.


Below 5th percentile is considered underweight. 5th to 84th is healthy weight. 85th to 94th is overweight. 95th and above is obese. Always discuss results with your child's pediatrician.
