9、 got angry. The letter claimed that Lilys body mass index(BMI) was 22 and she was at risk for being overweight. The 11-year-old star volleyball player carries 124 pounds on an athletic 5-foot-3 frame and eats healthy foods. “It says at risk, and then it tells you to go to their website; when you do
10、that, the at risk then turns into Lily is overweight.” Grasso said on TODAY. She believes her daughter enjoys a healthy weight and that the Florida Department of Public Health in Collier County made a mistake by sending whats known by some as a “fat letter” home with her daughter. She thinks that ch

About 25 percent had possible vision issues, less than 1 percent had possible hearing problems, about 2 percent had scoliosis, and 43 percent had BMI issues, either above or below normal numbers. Parents can give up the screening for their children, but Millsap and Colfe

BMI provides general information for doctors to work with, but does not provide an entire picture of a persons health.25. When Kristen Grasso received the “fat letter”, she _.
