BMI Calculator
This program calculates a person's BMI (Body Mass Index) as a function of a person's height (in inches) and weight (in pounds). The formula is as follows:

  1. Your weight (in pounds) x 703
  2. Square your height (in inches)
  3. answer for step 1 / answer for step 2
If the BMI is below 19, the person is underweight. If the BMI is between 19 and 24 inclusive, the person is considered "Desirable" by clinical standards. A person is "Overweight" if the BMI is greater than 24. If the BMI exceeds 27 then the person is considered obese.
