Question
which other characteristics must be taken into account to calculate bmi for children and teens, in addition to height and weight?
○ gender and age
○ age and activity level
○ percentage of muscle mass and body fat
○ gender and activity level
BMI (Body - Mass Index) for children and teens is age - and gender - specific. Percentile of muscle mass and body fat are not directly used in the basic BMI calculation, and activity level is not part of the formula for calculating BMI. Age and gender are crucial as reference charts for interpreting BMI values in children and teens are based on these factors.
