This is extremely useful tool as teens have a very erratic eating pattern. And it is better to nip the evil (of obeisity) in the bud.

A child's body fat changes with age. Also, girls and boys differ in their amount of body fat as they mature. This is why BMI for children, also known as BMI-for-age, includes gender and age.
