This is the home page for TopCode’s Simple BMI Form WordPress plugin.
There are many BMI widgets in the WordPress.org plugin directory, but none seem to offer a choice of 3 systems of units. This makes this calculator multi-national – site visitors can choose whichever system of units they are familiar with.
The BMI calculation is a simple formula:
BMI = your-weight / your-height squared
Data from the relevant Wikipedia page is used to categorise different BMI values.
