The 83rd centile in terms of Body Mass Index (BMI) indicates that a person's BMI is higher than 83% of individuals in the reference population for the same age and sex. This means that only 17% of the population has a BMI that is equal to or higher than this value. Being at the 83rd centile may suggest that the individual is at a higher weight relative to their peers, which could have health implications depending on other factors.
underweight: below 2nd BMI centilehealthy weight: between the 2nd and 90th BMI centileoverweight: between 91st and to 97th BMI centileobese: at or above 98th BMI centile. This BMI centile
The 1st centile BMI indicates that an individual's body mass index is lower than 99% of the population within the same age and sex group, placing them in the lowest 1% of that distribution. This typically suggests that the person may be underweight or at risk for health issues related to insufficient body weight. It's important for healthcare providers to evaluate the individual’s overall health and nutritional status in conjunction with this measurement.
They both have different aircraft, however because they are different airlines it doesn't mean one is faster than the other. However in terms of their aircraft, Bmi have larger aircraft and they are faster.
A BMI is a Black Market Item. A BMI is a special item or bonus that can only be bought for passes.
A BMI of 18.5 is on the low end of the healthy weight range.
A BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese.
Whether the median BMI score exceeds, equals, or is less than the mean BMI score of 28 depends on the distribution of the BMI data. If the distribution is symmetrical, the median is likely to be close to the mean. However, if the distribution is skewed (for example, right-skewed with a few high BMI values), the mean may be higher than the median. Without specific data, it's impossible to determine the relationship definitively.
its short for "not a number"
Body Mass Index
Depending on the context, BMI could mean Body Mass Index. It is a rough measure of whether or not a person is overweight (or underweight) and is calculated as the mass (in kilograms) divided by the square of the height (in metres). A BMI of 30 is the borderline between overweight and obese.
OK, your daughter's (I'm assuming) height is between the 75th and 90th centile for age. This means that she is as tall as or taller than between 675 and 90% of girls her age. This is good. Her weight is approximately on the 75th centile for age. That means she is as heavy as or heavier than 75% of girls her age. This is OK, especially keeping in mind that she is taller than most girls too. The most widespread and accepted method we have of monitoring if someone is overweight or not is BMI or Body Mass Index. Your daughter's BMI is calculated by dividing her weight (in Kilograms) by the square of her height (in meters), so wt= 128lb = 58.06Kg ht= 5'5" = 1.65 m so BMI = 58.06/(1.651 x 1.651) = 21.3 for children under 18 yrs, it is important to correlate BMI to age, and this shows that your daughter is approximately in the 75th centile, i.e. her BMI is as high as or higher than 75% of girls her age, which is a healthy BMI. It is important to remember that your daughter is approaching the business end of puberty, and while you may think she is overweight, some (but not excessive) "puppy fat" is normal, especially before she has her pubertal growth spurt. If you would like to continuously monitor her height, weight and BMI, I have included links to printable growth charts from the CDC. Monitoring growth in this way can be a good idea, but it is important not to emphasise being 'skinny' or making her think she is 'fat', as this would teach her to obsess over her weight and is a risk factor for anorexia and bulimia.

Actually, your BMI is probably 18.5, which is normal: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmicalc.htm and http://www.whathealth.com/bmi/formula.html A low BMI could also just mean that you have low amounts of muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat so it can affect BMI calculations
