Answers:
its not necessarily whats right for her age, its a height to weight thing!. a healthy BMI is between 19-24, she a t the higher end of healthy but thats fine, like i said it healthy!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
22 is fine however, I strongly suggest NOT paying attention to a BMI!. I'm over my suggested BMI (5'3" & 140lbs = 24 or 25 I think) but I'm not over weight but because I work out it increases my lean body mass and therefore pushes my weight up but my inches down!.
BMI does not take into consideration muscle mass or girls having curves so I suggest staying away from ALL of that!. I'm a health and weight loss counselor and what we use is a chart that shows your wrist size to check your frame (small, med, large) and use that to find a healthy weight range for an individual!.
At 11 she shouldn't be this concerned about her weight but if she is, don't follow BMI charts, follow something that takes into consideration frame siez etcWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, she is perfectly fine for her age!. As someone else already stated, a healthy BMI is between about 19-24!. A BMI of 22!.3 is healthy, not overweight!. Your friend is 11 years old, which means she hasn't gone through puberty yet!. When that occurs, then she'll be able to tell if her weight is right for her height!. In the mean time, she shouldn't worry because she most certainly isn't fat!. She should be having fun during the stress-free years of her life, not worrying about her body mass index!. Hope you both have a great summer break away from school!Www@Answer-Health@Com
If you are fat at 11, you will most probably turn into someone with a good body as you get older!.
if you are thin as a child, you either stay thin and have no curves or you become fatWww@Answer-Health@Com

BMI is not related to age, just height!. 22 is well within the normal range!. Under 20 is underweight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
