Do you think your  son or daughter is not  tall enough when compared with other kids of same age? Are you worried about that your child is underweight or over weight for his /her age.

If your child is 0-12 years of age, the equation to find ideal weight is as follows.

1-6 years = Age of child x 2 + 8

7-12 years = Age of child x7-5             / 2                                                                                             -

2-12  years  = Age of  child x6 + 77

CASE STUDY

Child’s age is 12 years.

His ideal weight = Age of child x 7 -5                /2                                                                                             -                                                                                                                                                                                                        = 12x 7-5 / 2 = 39.5 Kg.

His ideal height is = Age of child x 6+77

= 12 x 6+77= 149 cm
