Is there a weight chart for teenagers?!
Question: Is there a weight chart for teenagers.?
Daughter is 14, weight 9 stone 8 and 5 foot high. She want's to loose some weight but I would like to know approx what is the average so I can help. All the charts I can find refer to adults, or would this be the same.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
At 14, she can use the BMI table, that's fine. Just Google BMI calculator, there are plenty around. At 5" and 9st 8, her BMI is 26.17, which means she is a little overweight. Normal BMI range is 18.5-24.9. She needs to lose about a stone ideally.
Because of all the Anorexia furor, many people are scared to tell teenagers to lose weight (even though they may need to in some instances) in case they become anorexic. Anorexia is NOT defined by now much one weighs, Anorexia is a mental illness/disorder. Just because a teenager loses weight, it won't mean she is Anorexic.
Just as unhealthy as it is to be underweight, it is equally unhealthy to be overweight. So regardless of the Anorexia fear, to be healthy, your daughter does need to lose weight.Health Question & Answer

I reckon thats average I think.
My sister is 14, about the same weight and 5ft 7.
But not much at all. You would probably have to look on a adults chart though.Health Question & Answer
