[quote=Anonymous][quote=ThatSmileyFaceGuy]That calculator is silly. For height it averages the mother and father together. My 9 yo is already 4'11" and 115. Yes he can stand to lose a few pounds and will during wrestling season. But to base his adult height at 5'10" (the average between my 6'4" and the mother 5'4" ) when he is already almost 5 foot at 9 is just ludicrous. [/quote] [b][u]115[/u][/b] for 4'11" is a very heavy kid, no question about it. Not sure which calculator you used, but CDC's calculator says BMI is 23.2 for a boy which falls into the [b]obese [/b]category. [b][u]104[/u][/b] at that height would be in the [b]overweight[/b] category, so about 10% less than where he is now. Try it here: [url]http://nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/Calculator.aspx[/url][/quote]
