Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hi there I just noticed that at our GI's office, they give you a BMI...I honestly didn't know why it was significant since he's so young and was interested to see some folks mention it in posts. His BMI is like 18.7% but what is the ideal? Is it important? I saw in the post about where they thought that children who had a very high one were more prone to certain endocrine issues, but is that the only issue? Just curious...out of four kids, I can't recall seeing that number before until we started see the GI for True. deb...mom to four fab adopted kiddos...
