Hello
Your BMI is 17!.2, which for a 12 year old boy is perfectly fine!. Sometimes Doctors get confused about BMI in kids - kids aged 0 - 19 years have a different scale to measure BMI than adults, so when they see figures like 17 they can think you're under-weight (which you would be if you were an adult)!. But you're just great :-)

You're likely not underweight!. BMI evaluations are not always accurate, they don't take into account muscle weight or bone weight!.
I weigh 190 pounds, which for me is officially overweight, but I lift weights and have hardly any fat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
