Introduction: The status of weight among adolescents is assesessed by their body mass index (BMI). BMI of an individual is calculated by dividing a person's weight (kg) by square of his or her height (m2). The BMI value is then used to determine the BMI-for-age percentile on the basis of age and gender of the child, according to which the individual is considered for underweight or healthy or overweight, or obese.
