Doctors have found BMI to be a better indicator of body fatness and potential weight problems. BMI is particularly helpful for identifying children and adolescents who are at risk for being overweight as they get older. In older children and teens, there is a strong correlation between BMI and the amount of body fat. There f o re, those with high BMI readings - and probably high levels of fat - are most likely to have weight problems when they are older. If doctors and nurses can identify these at-risk children early on, they can monitor their body fat more carefully and potentially prevent adult obesity through changes in eating and exercise habits.
