NOTE: This app is intended for the use of health professionals and researchers, not for patient or general public use. The generated Percentage Weight For Height value (%WFH), otherwise known as Percentage BMI (%BMI), is often considered to be more clinically meaningful in paediatric growth measurement than BMI alone. It is expressed as a percentage of the median BMI, for a child or adolescent, of that same sex and age. %WHF is widely considered as an essential measurement in the assessment and management of paediatric eating disorders such as Anorexia Nervosa.
