Child and Teen BMI Percentile

For kids and teens, a “percentile” number (also based on height, weight, and BMI) compares children of the same age.

For example: if your child is at the 50th percentile for their BMI (height and weight), that means that 50% (half) of children of the same age have a lower BMI than your child.
