You will need their height and weight to get a more accurate measurement. They are sill growing so it will never be that accurate though.

Body mass index, BMI, is a number generated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in metres squared. Then checking it a map to see which zone it falls onto.

has a good tool kit to help you.

BMI isn't very accurate though as it relies on averages and doesn't include frame size and muscle mass (not that i guess a 11yr old would have excessive).

No,Because we can measure BMI only after 18 yr old i.e after reaching in adult.To measure BMI we need a stable height,tht's only we get after 18 yr old.So,here a 11yr old child we can't measure BMI.

It depends on your height. Because you are 11 and not fully grown, it might not be completely accurate

Here's a link to a BMI calculator :)

Is 98 pounds a good weight for an 11-year-old girl?

A girl that is 11 years old and weighs 98 pounds with a height of 61 inches is not overweight. The BMI (Body Mass Index) determines whether or not a person is overweight. If 98 is divided by 61, the BMI is only 16 because the result is multiplied by 10. A BMI of 18 or less is considered normal.


I am 11 years old. I am a girl with the B.M.I of 17.8. Is that bad or good?

According to the BMI standards, you are underweight if you have a BMI value below 18.5. Therefore, you are slightly underweight, so it wouldn't hurt to gain some weight. However, you are not extremely underweight, so you should not worry very much as long as you feel healthy.
