My daughter is 11 years old. 5'8" and 70 kg. She is very much taller and bigger than her classmates. She doesn't look overweight too. She is really active and does sports regularly. She is even in her school cricket, football and basketball team. She even passes fitness tests in real comfort too. Should I call her overweight based on this result.
