Question: I am 108 lbs. and 16 years old and i am 5'4. Am i fat?
Answers:

Your BMI (Body Mass Index, based on height and weight) is 18.5. That's pretty darned low, so no you're not in any way overweight. For reference, you can calculate BMI here:

You can check yourself against typical values for your age using the following chart:
http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/set…

According to this chart, you fall on the 25% line. This means that 75% of girls your age have a BMI that is larger than yours. 25% have the same or lower BMI.

My job is to analyze medical data.



You're ordinary.



no, your pretty skinny actually



no you're almost underweight
