| Nomogram for determining body mass index. To use this nomogram, place a ruler or other straight edge between the body weight in kilograms or pounds (without clothes) located on the left-hand line and the height in centimeters or in inches (without shoes) located on the right-hand line. The body mass index is read from the middle of the scale and is in metric units. (Copyright 1978, George A. Bray. Used by permission.) |
