My cousin is 11 and she is 4'8". She is 65 pounds, and was just wondering if she was logically underweight or overweight. She doesn't really care, she just felt like asking. Thanks!

4'8" and 65 lbs. would be a body mass index of 14.92. Under 18 is considered underweight.

Weight vs. height is very misleading. It all depends on how she LOOKS. If she is looking like a skeleton with skin pulled on, then she's pretty underweight; however, if she's looking chubby or has fat-rolls, then she's probably needing to shed a few pounds. It all has to do with body structure and muscle mass.

I think 65 lbs sound about right for that age

That sounds fine to me. You have to realize shes not a tall person so being 65lbs sounds like the norm to me

Make sure she dont stay sick. Weight is the bad measure of health anyway.
