Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator

Jun 23rd, 2008 by allanon

 

The body mass index (BMI), or Quetelet index, is a statistical measure of the weight of a person scaled according to height. As such, it is useful as a population measure only, and is not appropriate for diagnosing individuals.

Based on World Health Organization data here.
