** Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a child’s self-reported weight and height. BMI can be used as a screening tool
to identify possible weight problems for children and teens. The BMI number is calculated using a standard formula. BMI-for-age
percentiles are used to interpret BMI numbers because, unlike adults, BMI is both age-and sex-specific for children and teens. The
CDC BMI-for-age growth charts take into account these differences and allow translation of a BMI number into a percentile for a child’s
sex and age. The CDC growth charts were used to determine weight status according to BMI for participants in the Minnesota Student
Survey.
Not overweight: Less than the 85th percentile
Overweight: 85th to less than the 95th percentile
Obese: Equal to or greater than the 95th percentile
