Ponderal Index Calculator
The Ponderal Index (PI), also known as the Corpulence Index or Rohrer's Index, is a measure of leanness (or corpulence). It assesses weight in relation to height.
Unlike BMI, which uses height squared, the Ponderal Index uses height cubed, making it a measure of mass density. It's often used for pediatric measurements but can also be applied to adults.
Formula:PI = Weight (kg) / Height (m)³
General Adult Categories:- PI < 11: Considered underweight.
- PI 11 to 15: Considered in the normal range.
- PI > 15: Considered overweight.
These categories are general guidelines for adults and may not be as widely adopted as BMI categories.
