Re: Growth Chart for Boys over 48 ---> Kim C.

[Guest guest]

Hi Kim,

I've been doing a bit more looking and here's what I found.

" Standard CDC charts of childrens BMI (Body Mass Index) are the

new recommended method to judge if a child is over weight, obese,

normal or underweight "

This site has a BMI calculator and is from ages 1-20. I would

suggest plotting his BMI from age 1, every 6 months to present in

order to follow his curve. The charts go from the 5th percentile to

the 95th percentile.

Good Luck!!
