Yes, BMI is widely accepted as a reliable and valid tool for assessing overweight in children. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) (Barlow & and the Expert Committee, 2007) and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (Klein et al., 2010) recommend annual BMI screening for all children and adolescents.
