Answer: If someone is at or above the 85th percentile line on the chart (but less than the 95th percentile) is overweight.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anyone who falls between the 5th percentile and the 85th percentile is a healthy weight. If someone is at or above the 85th percentile line on the chart (but less than the 95th percentile) is overweight. A BMI measurement at or over the 95th percentile line on the chart puts someone in the obese range.
