Do I need to worry about this?

DD (6) was weighed yesterday so out of interest I measured her height and put it into the NHS BMI calculator. It says she's in the lowest 1% and is underweight. Previously I'd thought nothing of her weigh but now I'm wondering if I should be concerned.

I'm a small size 10 and my husband is naturally very thin, we're both a little over average height. DD is very active and doesn't have any issues with food/eating. I'm pretty confident she's totally healthy but wanted some other opinions/input. Thanks!

What are her height and weight?

115.5 cm and 17.75kg (with clothes on). She's only recently turned 6. I used this site to check www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-weight/bmi-calculator/

I just put those details in with an assumed dob in May and it came back as 4th percentile, which is the lower end of normal, but still normal.
