Obesity Assessment Tool
The Shape Up America! Pediatric BMI Assessment Tool — This interactive tool permits health care professionals to calculate BMI and plot BMI percentiles on the CDC growth charts for children ages 2 to 20. This tool should prove useful for schools and school nurses who are interested in measuring heights and weights in order to calculate BMI in school children.
You can enter up to six sets of data for a single individual and the graph can be printed out for filing purposes. A color printer is recommended: Note that color is used to denote individuals who are "overweight" (shown in red) or "at risk for overweight" (shown in yellow).
