Body Mass Index (BMI) When you step onto the bathroom scale, the number you see doesn't necessarily tell you how healthy you are. Body Mass Index, or BMI, shows at a glance whether extra pounds translate into health risks.

BMI is a calculation that uses a child's height and weight to estimate how much body fat he or she has. Doctors use BMI to determine how appropriate a child's weight is for a certain height and age.
