What is the correct bmi for a 12 year old?

Answer 1

While there can be an "average" weight (which, nowadays, may even be overweight), there is no ideal or perfect weight for a 12-year-old boy or girl or a person of any age. This is because weight is related to height and body composition rather than age. For more information, or to see the height/weight charts, or to learn about the causes of unwanted weight gain, see the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Meanwhile, here are a selection of example answers from WikiAnswer users:

• I am 12 and I weigh 67 pounds. I am very athletic but very short. I am not unhealthy.
• I am 12-year-old and 6 foot. I weigh 198 pounds.
• I am 12 and 5' 4. I weigh 125 pounds.
• I am 4' 9" or 10" I weigh 90 pounds. I have bigger muscles than I did before but I am not very tall
• It does not it matter how much you weigh, what clothes you wear, or how big or small you are, if you happy with the weight, then it doesn't matter.
• I am 12. My height is 5' exactly and I weight 106 lbs.
• Everyone is beautiful in their own way. I am 12 and 8 months and I am 111 pounds and 5' 6."
• I am 12, 5' 5" and weigh 135 pounds.
• I'm 12 years old and I weigh about 125 pounds. I am 5' 4." It does not matter what you look like because there is always going to be someone out there who likes you for who you are.
• I am a 12-year-old boy. I am 5' 2" and I weigh about 120 pounds. I do kick boxing, judo, swimming, and boxing, so I have muscle.
• I'm 12 years old and im 5'4" and weight 145 lb not sure how much in kg
• I am a 12-year-old girl about 4' 11 or 5' 1. I am physically active, eat healthy, and weigh 100 lbs.
• I am 12 and weigh around 130 pounds i am about 5 feet tall

As said earlier, there is no ideal weight for 12-year-old because weight is related to height and body composition rather than age.

Answer 2

Answer 1It depends on how tall you are and how physically fit you are.For example, an athlete or dancer will probably have more muscle than the average healthy human being so they will be heavier even if they are not 'overweight.

I would advise you to find a website that calculates your BMI depending on your height and weight (I do not recommend a particular one.)

Answer 2It varies by your height, age and gender. Like for a 12 yr old girl that's 4'10" a healthy weight is 71 to 104.

Answer 3

I agree, i am 13 and i am a dancer/athlete and do 6 hours of dance alone each week, and my bmi is 16.6, and i am 6ft7.

if you have more muscle, you should have a proper check at the doctors where they measure your fat alone, because muscle weighs more than fat.

Answer 4

There is no average for thinks like bmi and weight, because everyone is different. It all depends on height, muscle, diet...

No one can say an average, just as long as you eat healthily and exercise regularly, your bmi will be healthy for you.
