App Store Description

The Corpulence Index (CI) or Ponderal Index (PI) is a measure of leanness (corpulence) of a person calculated as a relationship between mass and height.This app let you calculate leanness (corpulence) of your body.You can also consult to doctor after getting Corpulence Index.Ponderal Index is a ratio of a person’s height to weight.
While it can apply to people of any age, it is typically used in Pediatrics (Children and Babies) to assess the ratio of height to weight of a person.


It plays a role in assessing whether the intrauterine growth restriction of a child is symmetrical or asymmetrical.CI has been shown to have higher sensitivity, specificity, as well as both positive and negative predictive values than body mass index.

It was first proposed in 1921 as the "Corpulence measure" by Swiss physician Fritz Rohrer and hence is also known as Rohrer's Index.It is similar to the body mass index, but the mass is normalized with the third power of body height rather than the second power.

In pounds and inches (imperial scale), Ponderal Index is calculated as:
CI_adult = weight [kg]/ height [m]³


Example:
A person has a mass of 165 lbs and is 5 foot 10 inches (70 inches) tall.
Ponderal Index=16.98
This person’s Ponderal Index is 16.98
