The BMI calculator works the same for children, but the measurement is used differently. While the BMI range remains the same in adults, in children, it varies since they are still growing and at a different pace. Thus, the calculations result in body mass index percentile.
50th percentile- 50% of children of the same age has the same BMI or less. 85th percentile- 85% of children has the same or lower BMI, and your kid is at risk of becoming overweight.
95th percentile- Your kid is classified as overweight.
