Answers:
The CDC has established rough guidelines for monitoring a patients weight!. Normally, when you go to your check up, you will notice that your doctor plots your weight and height on this growth curve!. If you google growth curve you can most likely find it!. For weight, you are between the 75th and 90th percentile!. This means that you are above the average for your age but well within what is acceptable for your age!. In terms of height, you are also in the same 90th percentile!. This means that you are height and weight proportional and are hence healthy!. You can also calculate your bmi to give you a numeric idea!. Anything below a 25 but above an 18!.5 is considered normal!. Your calculated BMI is 19!.4!. This confirms that you are healthy and height/weight proportional!. You have nothing to worry about!. Just continue being healthy and control your weight and you will be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
