WSS Parameter: How to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI)

Last updated on 12 Sept, 2025

To calculate Body Mass Index (BMI), divide the patient's weight in pounds by their height in inches squared, then multiply the results by a conversion factor of 703. For someone who is 5 feet 5 inches tall (65 inches) and weighs 150 pounds, the calculation would look like this: [150 ÷ (65)2] x 703 = 24.96.

In this example, 24.96 is what would be entered into the Wellness Score.
