To determine: Person A BMI and percentile from the sports physical visit.

Introduction: Body mass index (BMI) is an effective measurement of the status of the health of a person whose height and weight are known. It is determined using the height and weight of the child which is then used to determine the corresponding BMI-for-age percentile based on the child’s sex and age. BMI-for-age percentile gives a comparative view of a child’s BMI with respect to those of other children of the same age and sex.
