2.5. ABOUT THE BMI - BODY MASS INDEX
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indicator of your body fat and potential medical risks, based on
the ratio of weight to height. It is calculated by dividing weight in pounds (lb) by height in inches
(in) squared and multiplying by a conversion factor of 703. (Formula : weight (lb) * 703 / [height(in)]²).
