Child BMI Percentiles

For children, BMI is interpreted using age- and sex-specific percentiles because body composition varies with age and gender. CDC growth charts are used for ages 2-20.

  • Below 5th percentile: Underweight
  • 5th to 84th percentile: Healthy Weight
  • 85th to 94th percentile: Overweight
  • 95th percentile and above: Obese
