What should a 10 year old weigh?

My little sister, Kendra, is dying to know if she is over weight. I keep on telling her that she shouldn’t worry about her weight at a young age but she won’t let it go. So I need help, Kendra is 10 years old, she is 4 feet 9 inches and weighs 95.8 pounds. Is she average for a 10 year old? And is she overweight?

Answer #1

her bmi is 20.7 which is perfect.

healthy bmi is between 19 and 25… she’s actually a little on the thinner side (most 10 year olds are)

Answer #2

sounds pretty average to me.

Answer #3

You can go here http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm It’s an online calculator for the ideal weight & height by age.

Answer #4

She has a very very good bmi.. she isn’t the least bit overweight. tell her to stop worrying, shes ten and thats the growthspirt age so tell her to expect to gain a little weight for her own well being. shes still growing.
