Do you mean the Body Mass Index calculation? There is a handy <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/">calculator for BMI</a> on the CDC website.

If you want to do it yourself, the calculation is:
(lbs/inches²) x 703

Weight to length % is only useful for children under 2 or 3 (can't remember which age)...BMI is something different...I've searched the Internet but can find nothing! ;p Ellie's CF doctors have used it to inform me where she falls based upon CCF guidelines. They want her to be over 50%. Her recent doctor appt (pediatrician) put her at 33" and 25lb 2oz...was hoping to calculate the W:L% myself.

I am not 100% sure where it is but I know you can find the chart on the CDC website...try googleing CDC weight chart and it should give you all three of the charts that they use.
