BMI Calculator - Dr Mario Del Pino

BMI, a tool to measure obesity

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement used to assess health risks of obesity. It is calculated by dividing body weight (lbs.) by height in inches squared (in2) and multiplying that amount by 703. The metric calculation for BMI is kg/m2.
