Summary Introduction
To determine: The weight status of a 13-year-old boy with a BMI of 24.
Concept introduction: Body mass index (BMI) is an index of weight-to-height that is calculated by a person’s weight (in kilogram) divided by the square of their height (meters). It is used to classify whether a person is underweight, overweight, and obese. Percentile is a value that refers to a certain percentage of scores below it. If an individual’s score is in the 90th percentile, it means that they scored better than 90% of individuals that took the test.
