The Shape Up America! Pediatric BMI Assessment Tool permits health care professionals to calculate BMI and plot BMI percentile on the CDC growth charts for children ages 2 to 20. The user can enter up to six sets of data for a single child and the graph can be printed out for filing purposes.
Many states are mandating measurement of BMI in preschoolers and school children. Our goal is to make the laborious BMI calculation and plotting of BMI percentile as accurate and convenient as possible.
