The BMI is lower at age 5 than any other age in the entire lifespan.
There is no age related factor in the calculation of BMI. Fortunately, as BMI has been discredited as a dependable or even meaningful measure of anything (even by its developer), this is of no consequence.
Healthy BMI range is same for age group above 20 including both males and females. But, in childrens BMI is age and sex specific which is calculated by using percentile because of difference in amount of fats in different sex and age.
The BMI scale relies on length, weight and gender to make sense. Age and a value doesn't say much.
no, it isn't overweight. your bmi is 20.8, which is a very good healthy weight (: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/ using a bmi calculator helps to see whether you are a normal weight, under weight, or overweight. although i wouldn't suggest using a bmi calculator that asks for age, as i am 5'7 and at the age of 13... when i use an age one, it puts me into an overweight section, but when i change my age to say 34, it says i am normal. this is because i have grown taller quicker, and a child my age isn't expected to be as tall. im not sure if it works like that for shorter people too? and puts you in underweight, idk? :L . but yes, bmi calculators are extremley good, just be careful which ones you use (: X
The Center for Disease Control at www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/assessing/bmi/ discusses the details of what your BMI should be for your weight, activity level, and age.
The lowest age is 14...?
Some countries have no age limit, but the lowest set age is 16.
To determine the body mass index (BMI) of a specific age, you need to know the individual's weight and height. BMI is calculated using the formula: weight (kg) / height (m)^2. For children and adolescents, age and sex-specific growth charts are often used to interpret BMI, as their body composition changes as they grow. If you provide the age, weight, and height, I can help calculate the BMI.
you are a healthy weight! check your BMI http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/ to know for sure.
It depends on the teenagers height, age, and weight.
That depends on your height, age and gender. The best thing to do is to use a BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator that takes these factors into account to calculate whether you are a healthy weight for your age. There are a number of decent ones available online.
BMI varies greatly depending on the person. An ideal range for BMI though, is between 18.5 and 24.9. Anything above or below those numbers are considered either overweight or underweight. However, if you have lots of muscle mass, BMI probably won't give you an accurate reading.
