  1. OK design but flawed. There is no metric option, meaning 90% of the human population has been ignored. The table of results does not reflect accepted standards. BMI of 26-29 is accepted to be overweight; this says ‘moderate’ whatever that means. 20-25 is normal weight; this gives some unknown and misleading classification. it needs to be re-designed.
