Classifying the BMI Using the WHO Classification System with FileMaker Pro

In the previous blog, there was basic information for creating a calculation of the BMI in FileMaker Pro.

The Metabolic Syndrome database uses the World Health Organization (WHO) classification system online at http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/ and shown below.

The FileMaker Pro Formula is a nested formula that uses the BMI field in the Visit table.
The double quotes ("") around each classification level instructs FileMaker Pro output text, such as Obesity Class III. Note:  The Metabolic Database used the term "Overweight" instead of "Pre-Obese."

If (BMI >40; "Obesity Class III"; If (BMI>35; "Obesity Class II"; If(BMI>30; "Obesity Class I"; If (BMI>25; "Overweight"; If(BMI ≥ 18.5; "Normal"; If(BMI<18 .5=".5" nderweight="nderweight" p="p">
The data is displayed in the table as seen below.
