10.5 Calculation of the Body Mass Index
You need to know a person's body height before you can calculate the BMI for that
person. It should either be known or can be determined directly with the MPE-HM
and MPE-HEM model.
10.5.1 Measuring body height (MPE-HM and MPE-HEM only)
Push measuring stick upwards and set the stopper horizontally.
Push measuring rod carefully down until the headpiece touches the person's
head. (It is recommended to take measurements with shoes removed).
A fixed stopper pointing outwards poses a risk of injury.
