BMI Suggestion

[annamarie]

Hey staff! Anyways, I've noticed that you guys reference a BMI calculator when deciding on height and weight for characters and how it changes what they look like. However, since most of the characters on this site are in between the ages of 12 and 18, I would suggest a children's BMI calculator like this one. My reason for this is because BMI rates for children and adolescents are different than for adults. If you plug my height and weight into the BMI calculator you suggest, I am underweight with a BMI of 18.3. With the one I use, which includes age as a factor, I have a BMI of 18.7, a healthy BMI. Just a suggestion (:[/color]

I like this idea a lot.

The BMI Calculator I typically use is this one, which is endorsed by the US Department of Health and Human sciences, but it does seem to be more general, without using age factors, etc.

I think I shall use your link from now on :3

Adding it. Thanks!

Yeah, the one I used was often for adults since I couldn't find one for children. Only just found a children's version just recently...but yeah, this will be good (especially if the members could do it on their own since they know the specifics of their chars xP).
