Is 150 pounds overweight for a 10-year-old boy?

Answer 1

150 pounds is extremely overweight for a 10 year old boy unless he is a fantastic athlete capable of lifting 220 pounds or 100 kilograms. Does he run several miles each day? Extremely few, in fact fewer that one in 1,000 boys who are 150 pounds are that heavy because they are fantastic athletes. Most have too much fat and will die of a heart attack long before they reach the end of their normal life expectancy.
