Below is the math that this calculator used to get the result.BMI = (Weight/2.205) / (Height/39.37)2 Z-score = ((BMI/M)L - 1) / (L * S) BMI_percentile = ZtoPercentile(Z-score)References Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics. Clinical ...
Results: The modelled distributions above the 95th percentile can be used to calculate percentiles and non-compressed z-scores for extreme BMI values among youth. Conclusion: This method can be used, in conjunction with the current CDC BMI-for-age growth charts, to track extreme values of BMI ...
This calculator provides your child's weight percentile based on age. The percentile shows how your child's weight compares to other children. The percentile tells you what percentage of children weigh less than your child. For example out of a sample of 100 children, a percentile value of ...
At the extremes (>97th percentile or <3rd percentile), small differences in percentiles represent clinically important differences in BMI. At these extremes, the z-score is a more precise reflection of how far the measurement deviates from the mean, and is a useful tool for tracking changes. ...
