Answer to Question 2

The body mass index (BMI) chart is often used to distinguish overweight and obesity from a healthy weight. Children's BMI values are compared to percentile charts for their age and gender groups as well. Children whose BMI values are above the 85th percentile are considered overweight; those with BMI values at or are above 95th percentile are considered obese. The school nurse could also find out what the child's diet is like and whether they get any exercise. Both environment and genetics play roles in the development of obesity.
