Dear Parent,

Have you ever wondered if your child is over or under weight compared to other children his\her age?

If you are a good parent (and I'm sure you are), we have the right application for you to answer that question.

Using reliable data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)* and very advanced data aggregations, we are able to analyse how far your child is from the average BMI from children his\her age

Here's an example of our data:

   age weight height gender
1   58     38     38      M
2  103     87     43      M
3   87     50     48      M
4  138     98     61      M
5   82     47     47      F
6   52     30     24      F
7   28     24     29      M
8   79     45     48      F
9  107    144     59      M
10  45     24     24      M
