How do you calculate BMI?

Asked by Dutchess_III (47239points) October 14th, 2016

I want to know the formula for calculating the BMI for a child under the age of 2. I don’t see any BMI calculators for kids under 2 on the internet, so I’ll just do it the old fashioned way, with a math formula. But I don’t know what formula to use.

The link I posted above says it’s ”using data from WHO (World Health Organization).”
