Reply to comment by SoupahCereal in Childhood body mass index is unlikely to have a big impact on children's mood or behavioural disorders by giuliomagnifico

It's a pretty good generalized first step of measuring overall health before going into blood pressure and lab tests. Especially with children as you need to make sure they're not lagging behind in weight as they grow.

Nobody in medicine I know agrees with that, but that's fine. You can have your opinion and maybe you're right. I'm just speaking from my own experience. Plus i literally have nothing to do with children. Still rubbish.

You asked EVERYONE you know in medicine about bmi? Kinda weird habit to be into, but ok.
