How much should a 10 year girl who is 4 foot 8 inches weigh?

Answer 1

Does it matter? The girl should be happy and active ( if possible). When you look at someone you know they are overweight, but at her age she is still growing and needs a fat layer to be healthy. Being 'overweight' ( using the term loosely) for a short period of time at her age isn't going to cause major problems, in fact it is totally normal. Again being stick thin can just be temporary, however underweight children are more likely to suffer health problems. It all depends on genetics.

Answer 2

This determination is based on a child being in the 85% percentile of normal weight distribution; for a 10 year old to be in this group, an average BMI (body mass index) would be around 21, equating to a body weight of about 65 lbs.

Answer 3

I think that a 4 ft 8 in female should weigh about 70 to 90 pounds.

But, muscle weighs more than fat, so if you way more, it might be because of the muscle.

Answer 4

I am that tall and that age and I weight 90 pounds and I am under weight so I would say somwhere from 100-110 or maybe a little lighter.
