The article discusses concerns about the determination of healthy weight in children following the American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP) release of guidance on obesity assessment and management. Topics discussed include debate about the accuracy of ideal body weight (IBW) and body mass index (BMI) in determining healthy weight, the definition of being overweight under the AAP guidelines, and the clinical limitations of BMI as it calculates excess body weight rather than excess body fat. |
