Healthy Weight Calculator
Currently in the UK, the number of obese children continues to rise with just under one in five children between the ages of two and ten being diagnosed as obese. Children who are overweight are more likely to develop diabetes or heart disease in later life and are more likely be obese as adults, therefore it is important to monitor this from an early age. NHS Choices have created the Healthy Weight Calculator to help parents to monitor their child's weight effectively, simply by entering a child's height, weight, age and date of birth. Even if a child is not obese, it is vital that parents encourage healthy eating and a physically active lifestyle to ensure problems do not occur in the future. To help parents with this, the NHS Choices website also provides practical information about how to manage this. Go to http://www.nhs.uk/Tools/Pages/Healthyweightcalculator.aspx?Tag
