BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) CALCULATOR
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number
calculated from a person's weight and
height. BMI does not measure body
fat directly, but research has shown
that BMI correlates to direct measures
of body fat, such as underwater
weighing and dual energy x-ray
absorptiometry (DXA). BMI can be
considered an alternative for direct
measures of body fat.
To Activate
1. Press the Scale control on the GCI
home page.
2. Press the Scale control.
3. Press Patient Height icon and
enter the patient height.
4. Press Accept.
