BMI Encyclopedia



Preface:

From time to time i am seeing different spelling of BMI. BMI-Value is not bad. With Body Index simply the Mass is missing. BMI-Index is a double, because the I already means Index. Bodymassindex is a concation of the singel words. Sometimes also Body Maß Index is seen, because in germany a double-S sometimes means a ß.

Its not easy. Iam caughting myself by pronouncing Mass like the german Maß instead english Mass. Becasue of this, i have started a little encyclopedia.
