[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is easy. http://nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/Result.aspx?&dob=1/1/2012&dom=1/1/2015&age=36&ht=42&wt=51&gender=2&method=0&inchtext=0&wttext=0 I put the OP's daughter's info in the Child BMI calculator. Her DD's BMI is at the 99%, which is the in the Obese range. So OP, your DD's doctor is right to be concerned. [/quote] Actually, I don't think that that calculator is all that useful. My 3 year old boy registers as 94th percentile (18.3 BMI), which is "overweight" and just this side of obese according to that calculator (obese starts at 95%). He is not even remotely fat. Just a healthy, active boy. His pediatrician agrees and has no concerns at all about his weight or BMI. I'm not saying anything about OP's child but I think that relying solely on the BMI calculator is a mistake.[/quote]
