If you look around at your classmates and your teachers you will see that people are all different heights, weights and shapes. This makes it quite difficult to know whether you are the right height or weight for your age.
But there are ways of finding out. What scientists have done is to measure a huge number of boys and girls to find out the normal range for their heights and weights. They then produced ‘charts’ which doctors can use to work out whether you are the right height and weight for your age. What we have done here is to make it easier for you to know whether you are within the normal range. All you have to do is to fill in your height, weight, age and whether you are a boy or a girl - in the appropriate box below.
Are you the right weight?
