The National Institute of Health’s (NIH) BMI Calculator app allows users to check their Body Mass Index (BMI) by inputing their personal data such as weight and height to gain information related to their risk of disease.

This app, which is available on the iPhone platform, allows users to quickly get their BMI index on their mobile device by simply entering two numbers (height and weight) to get a third (BMI Index). According to NIH:

One of the most popular tools on the NIH’s National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Web site is the BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator.  BMI is a reliable indicator of total body fat, which is related to the risk of disease and death.  The NHLBI BMI calculator receives 1.6 million visitors a month and ranks #1 on Google.  This mobile application provides results right on your phone along with links to healthy weight resources on the NHLBI Web site.
