Understanding the Results

The calculator provides two key measurements:

  • Ideal Weight: The recommended weight based on CDC growth charts for the child's age, gender, and height. This is an estimate and should not replace professional medical advice.
  • BMI: Body Mass Index, which provides a general indication of whether a child's weight is in a healthy range. Keep in mind that BMI is not a diagnostic tool and should be interpreted by healthcare professionals.

Important Notes

This calculator uses simplified formulas based on CDC growth charts. For more precise measurements, especially for very young children or those with specific health conditions, consult with a healthcare provider.

The ideal weight provided is an estimate and may vary based on individual factors. Factors such as muscle mass, bone density, and body composition can affect weight in healthy ways that BMI alone doesn't capture.
