First of all, I agree with you, that it is not a very accurate indicator of a true BMI measurement. Secondly, I had not thought about what units others may use because the book was American written and distributed, thanks for pointing that out. And finally, I only use the number as an indication of progress, not an actual reading of true BMI, only calipers can indicate that. Plus, I took the equations straight from the book, so if you have qualms with their formulated ways of arriving at a BMI % then write those authors. Thanks for the reply and taking a look at the script :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
