BMI classification

 
Body mass index (BMI) Classification
BMI <5th percentile: Underweight
BMI ≥5th to <85th percentile: Healthy weight
BMI ≥85th to <95th percentile: Overweight
BMI ≥95th to <120% of the 95th percentile and <35 kg/m2: Class I obesity
BMI ≥120% to <140% of the 95th percentile or ≥35 kg/m2 (whichever is lower): Class II obesity
BMI ≥140% of the 95th percentile or ≥40 kg/m2 (whichever is lower): Class III obesity

 
 

 

 
Notes
  • This calculator is based on the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) growth reference.
  • Class I represents mild obesity. Class II and Class III represent severe obesity.
  • At the extremes (>97th percentile or <3rd percentile), small differences in percentiles represent clinically important differences. 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.
  • For all LMS tables, the row in the table corresponding to the patient-specific value is found in the first column of the table; values to be used for L (the Box-Cox power), M (the median), and S (the generalized coefficient of variation) in the equation for Z-score are retrieved.
  • The accuracy of the calculation can be assessed by viewing the graph of body mass index-for-age percentiles for this sex and age group in UpToDate.
  • Z-scores may be used to do a table lookup for the corresponding percentile in the Normal table percentiles for Z-score table (below). Numbers along the left side (Y-axis) of the table represent the first number and first decimal place of the Z-score, while the numbers along the top (X-axis) of the table represent the second decimal position of the Z-score.

 
Equations used
 
BMI = Weight / (Height/100)2
Z-score = ((BMI/M)L - 1) / (L * S)
Percentile = ZtoPercentile(Z-score)
BMI 95th percentile = M * ((L*S*1.645)+1)(1/L)
