Body mass index (BMI) relates weight to height and reflects the shape of a child, but because of age dependency it has not been used conventionally for the estimation of fatness in children. From measurements of Tayside children (n = 34,533) centile charts were constructed for BMI (wt/ht2) from the raw data of height and weight, using Cole's LMS method for normalised growth standards. These data were compared with the only available European BMI charts published from data of French children obtained over a period of 24 years from 1956-79. British children appear to be 'fatter'. Within a subgroup (n = 445) the BMI values were correlated with estimations of body fat, for boys and girls, from skinfold thickness (r = 0.8 and 0.81) and bioelectrical impedance (r = 0.65 and 0.7). The limits of acceptable BMI have yet to be defined.
体重指数（BMI）将体重与身高联系起来，反映儿童的体型，但由于其与年龄相关，传统上并未用于评估儿童的肥胖程度。通过对泰赛德地区儿童（n = 34533）的测量，利用科尔的LMS方法从身高和体重的原始数据构建了BMI（体重/身高²）的百分位图表，以制定标准化生长标准。这些数据与仅有的一份基于1956年至1979年期间法国儿童数据发布的欧洲BMI图表进行了比较。英国儿童似乎更“胖”。在一个亚组（n = 445）中，男孩和女孩的BMI值与通过皮褶厚度（r = 0.8和0.81）和生物电阻抗（r = 0.65和0.7）得出的身体脂肪估计值相关。可接受的BMI范围尚未确定。
