This document contains a table listing the body mass index (BMI) z-scores for boys ages 2 to 5 years according to month. It provides the -3, -2, -1, median, +1, +2, and +3 standard deviation BMI scores in kilograms per meter squared. The table is based on the WHO Child Growth Standards. It notes that for children under 2, height should be converted to length by adding 0.7 cm before calculating BMI, while for children 2 to 5 measured lying down, length should be converted to height by subtracting 0.7 cm.

WHO Child Growth Standards Note: If a child aged less than 2 years is measured standing up, change the height to length by adding 0.7 cm BEFORE calculating BMI, because the BMI-for-age for Birth to 2 years is based on length. For children 2 to 5 years measured lying down, convert length to height by subtracting 0.7 cm BEFORE calculating BMI for application of the BMI-for-age chart.
