How the Child Growth / BMI Works
Children’s BMI is calculated the same way as adults’, but it is read against age and sex on a growth chart, because body fat changes as children grow.
Indian paediatricians use the IAP 2015 growth charts. Bring your child’s height and weight records to the clinic so the doctor can see the trend.

My child is small for their age. Should I worry?
One measurement means little. What matters is whether your child keeps growing along their curve. A paediatrician can check this.
