Once you purchased and downloaded the 'BMI+ CDC' app from the Apple App Store or iTunes, you can use it to determine BMI percentile data for children and adult ages 2 years and above.
After measuring your or your child’s height and weight, 'touch' the unit (Metric or English) and sex, enter the age, height, and weight. For metric units, use kilogram for weight and centimeter for length. For English units, use pound for weight and inch for length. Enter parameters according to the unit of measurement selected.
To exit the virtual decimal keypad, touch anywhere outside the values entered.
Once satisfied with your entries, touch 'Calc' button to display the results. BMI has alerts to show valid values if you entered out of range values.
