is she overweight?

Question

My best friend is 10 and she is 5'2 she weighs 130 pounds if she is where can we get help what web page

Answer 1

I was going to say that is fine, but then I saw that she is only 10, so that is considered a bit heavy for such a young age. If she could keep at that weight for the next 10 years, she'd be fine, but because she is going to be going through puberty soon, she is going to gain more weight and probably become overweight. She shouldn't diet, but she needs to eat more healthily and exercise regularly. HTH : )

Answer 2

Ten year olds put on a few pounds right before a growth spurt. Chances are she's just about to grow a few inches. No dieting at ten, okay? That can wait until she's a little older and closer to her adult size.

And 130 is not nearly heavy enough to worry about considering her age and height.

Answer 3

She's fine; her height will catch up with her weight. A person who is 10 years old does not need to be dieting unless they are very very heavy. It is much more important for her to have good nutrition, so she should eat good foods, get exercise, and get plenty of sleep.

Answer 4

I don't think she's over weight, her BMI Index is 23. 18.5-24.9 means you are in the healthy weight range for your height and weight. But I'm not sure if this applies to young children. I suggest she see her GP about it, he/she can help her out and will have some good advice.

Answer 5

Only a doctor should be telling a 10 year old whether or not she's overweight, and it should only be discussed by her parents. You should not be worrying about helping her.

Answer 6

Yes she is very much over weight, she needs to contact a doctor and get on a healthy diet.
