How this is calculated (LMS method)

z = ((measurement ÷ M)^L − 1) ÷ (L × S)   [L=1 → z = (value ÷ M − 1) ÷ S]
Percentile = Φ(z) on the IAP 2015 reference for age & sex
IAP cut-offs: overweight ≥ 85th (≈ adult BMI 23), obese ≥ 97th (≈ 25)
WHO uses 25 & 30 — Indian children carry higher fat risk at lower BMI.
