Question about childrens weight?

Question

just out of interest what are the average weights or bmi's for 10 and 12 year old males. unbelievably despite trawling the internet this information is hard to come by. my 12 year old weighs 6 stone 4 lbs with a bmi of 17 and my almost 10 year old 4 stone 6 lbs with bmi of 15...they have always been lean, but one of my friend said my 12 year old was looking thin.

Answer 1

My nine year old weighs seven stone and i am really trying to cut sweets etc.But he is nearly five foot tall,shoe size 6 and hunky,not fat.Give us a break,his father is six foot and not a weakling.Remember,nature,nurture.    

Answer 2

For the 10 one it should be 2-3 stone less than the 12 one so yes your 10 one is a bit underweight but dont worry about this :D

Answer 3

You should not use the BMI scale on children, as it simply isn't appropriate until they have grown into adulthood.

If I scored my daughter's BMI, she would show up as being underweight, yet she is a perfectly healthy girl who eats well and exercises like any 10 year old does.

As long as your children are healthy and happy, don't worry about what other people say!

Answer 4

go to your doctor , you should be able to see by eye if your kids are over weight.

6.4 sounds fine. I'm 18 5'3 and 8.4
