I did some more reading and found this (I haven't found any info in english):

http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/IsoBMI

The table shows converted values for BMI 25 (overweight) and BMI 30 (obese) for boys ("pojkar") and girls ("flickor")

So it seems that BMI 19.86 for a ten year old girl is the same as BMI 25 for grown-ups, so at 19.9 it's a close call. (and when she turns 11 or even 10.5 she won't be considered overweight)

But now I remember all those Ricki Lake etc shows with a 100+ lbs 3-year old and his parent saying "he's just big boned"...
