Equations used
 

BMI = (Weight/2.205) / (Height/39.37)2

BMIPoints = BMIP

DiabetesRiskScore = BMIP + Age + Sex + FMH + Active + HTN

 

 

Calculation Details and Variables

• Equation parameters such as Age, have two or more discrete values that may be used in the calculation. The numbers in the parentheses, e.g. (0), represent the values that will be used.
