Body mass index (BMI)
2-20 years
The BMI centile is a simple and reliable indicator of thinness and fatness in
childhood. Where severe over- or underweight is a concern, or where there is a
need for monitoring over time, BMI can be calculated and plotted on this chart.
It is important also to plot the height and weight separately on the main 2-18
chart. There is also a BMI centile look-up on the standard 2-18 chart for less
complex cases.
BMI is calculated by dividing weight (in kg) by the square of height (in metres e.g.
1.32 m, not centimetres e.g. 132 cm).
A simple way to do this on a calculator or mobile phone is:
1. Enter the weight. 2. Divide by height. 3. Divide the result by height.
The result can then be plotted on the chart below.
Overweight and obesity
A BMI above the 91st centile suggests overweight. A child above the 98th centile
is very overweight (clinically obese) while a BMI above the 99.6th centile is severely
obese. In addition to the usual nine centile lines, the BMI chart displays high lines
at +3, +3.33, +3.66 and + 4 SD, which can be used to monitor the progress of
children in overweight treatment programmes.
Thinness
A BMI below the 2nd centile is unusual and may reflect undernutrition, but may
simply reflect a small build. The chart also displays low lines at -4 and -5 SD for
those who are severely underweight. Children whose BMI lies below the 0.4th
centile are likely to have additional problems and if not already receiving medical
or dietetic attention should be referred.
