  1. Assessing Child Growth Using the Body Mass Index (BMI)-for-age Growth Charts: A Training for Health Care Providers Adapted by the CHDP Bay Area Nutrition Subcommittee (BANS) from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity Maternal and Child Nutrition Branch March 2006

  2. BMI-for-age Growth Chart is: • considered standard practice by the American Academy of Pediatrics. • now required as part of the well-child exam for children ages 2 through 19 by the Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) Program.

  3. Training Objectives • Understand BMI and how it is useful to screen for normal growth • Learn how to plot BMI on the BMI-for-age growth charts • Learn how to assess a child’s growth using BMI-for-age growth charts for early identification of childhood overweight

  25. What is BMI? • A number that compares a child’s weight to her height • Body Mass Index (BMI) = Weight (kg) / Height (m)² • BMI is an effective SCREENING tool; alone it is nota diagnostic tool

  26. BMI is Not the Same for Adults and Children • Adult BMI is evaluated by use of cut-off numbers; for example BMI >30 is indicative of adult obesity • There are no BMI cut-off numbers for children. The BMI number must be plotted on the BMI-for-age growth chart • The BMI for children is useful only when it is plotted on the “BMI-for-age Growth Chart”

  27. For Children, BMI Changes with Age BMI BMI Example: 95th percentile tracking Age BMI 2 yrs 19.3 4 yrs 17.8 9 yrs 21.0 13 yrs 25.1 Boys: 2 to 20 years BMI BMI

  28. Importance of Using BMI-for-age • Tracking tool for body size starting at age 2 years through adulthood • Only indicator that examines weight, stature AND age for a child on a single growth chart • Correlates with clinical risk factors for chronic disease including hyperlipidemia, elevated insulin, and high blood pressure

  29. BMI is Only an Indirect Measure of Body Fat

  30. Using BMI-for-age Percentiles to Assess Risk > 95th percentile Overweight 85th to < 95thRisk of percentile overweight < 5th percentile Underweight

  31. What is a Percentile? 50th Percentile 85th 5th 95th

  32. CDC Standardized Growth Chart Formula to calculate BMI Percentiles (5th,10th,25th, 50th, 75th,85th,90th,95th) Published May 30, 2000

  33. Using BMI-for-age Percentiles to Assess Risk > 95th percentile Overweight? 85th to < 95thRisk of percentile overweight? < 5th percentile Underweight? Growth acceleration or deceleration across 2 percentile lines

  34. What is “Adiposity” Rebound (AR)? • A rebound or increase in BMI that occurs after it reaches its lowest point, usually between ages 4 to 6. • Normal pattern of growth • An early "adiposity" rebound, occurring before ages 4 to 6, is associated with obesity in adulthood. BMI

  35. Normal “Adiposity” Rebound Early “Adiposity” Rebound BMI BMI

  36. Steps to Plot BMI-for-age • Obtain accurate weight and height measurements • Select the appropriate growth chart • Record the data • Calculate BMI • Plot measurements • Interpret plotted measurements

  37. BMI BMI Boys: 2 to 20 years BMI BMI • Obtain Accurate Weight and Height Measurements • Accurate Measurements are Critical 5 year old boy Weight: 43.5 lb Height: 43 in BMI= 16.5 BMI-for-age = 75-84th %tile Inaccurate height measurement: 42.5 in BMI=17 BMI-for-age = 85-94th %tile

  38. 2. Select the Appropriate Growth Chart • For ages birth to 36 months old: • “Length-for-age,” and “Weight-for-age” • “Weight-for-length,” and “Head Circumference-for-age” • For ages 2 to 20 years: • “Weight-for-age,” and “Stature-for-age” • Body Mass Index “BMI-for-age”

  39. 3. Record Data

  40. 4. Calculate BMI English: Wt (lbs.) ÷Ht (in.) ÷ Ht (in.) x 703 Metric: Wt (kg.) ÷Ht (cm.) ÷ Ht (cm.) x 10,000

  41. 4. Calculate BMI • Use a Pediatric BMI Wheel

  42. 5. Plot Measurements 95th 85th 75th 50th BMI 5th Age

  43. 6. Interpret the BMI-for-age Chart • Need a series of BMI plots to determine the growth trend • If growth deviates from expected growth pattern, further assessment may be needed

  44. Practice using “BMI-for-age” Growth Chart Pete (3 y) Gabriella (4 y) Liz (4 y) Photos from UC Berkeley Longitudinal Study, 1973

  45. Please Plot Pete Perfectly Measurements for Pete: Age= 3 y 3 wks Weight= 41 lbs (18.6 kg) Height= 39.7 in (100.8 cm) Find BMI, plot, & interpret growth trend BMI= Wt ( lbs) ÷ Ht (in) ÷ Ht (in) x 703 Photo from UC Berkeley Longitudinal Study, 1973

  46. BMI BMI Boys: 2 to 20 years BMI BMI Answers: Pete’s “BMI-for-age” BMI=18.3 • Interpretation: • BMI-for-age = >95th percentile • Overweight • Of 100 boys the same age, more than 95 have a lower BMI-for-age

  47. Let’s Look at Liz Liz
