Would you like to use the BMI tool on your website, as displayed below?

The process simply requires insertion of 1 block of code in the <HEAD> section of the page and 1 block of code in the <BODY> section of the same page.

The only condition is that the code is not modified (other than colour, and if you desire, font size). The appearance of the tool on this website is controlled by a cascading style sheet. However it will also function correctly without a style sheet. View the BMI tool with no formatting applied to the appearance.

The

link must remain active and clearly visible.

If you distribute this tool from your site to third parties, it is on the condition that they are subject to the same requirements. The display must appear exactly as below on your site.
