10 years ago my height was determined as being 5' 4" (163 cm) but now I am, as a result of orthopaedic problems and osteoporosis, 5' 1.5" (156 cm). My frame size is still large - my wrist size is 7" (18cm).
The question is - should my BMI divisor be 2.66 or 2.43?
Just a thought.

    Your BMI would be based on current height.
