High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rohrer's Index is an anthropometric statistic which combines the height and weight of an individual into a singular metric. The Rohrer's Index and the Body Mass Index (BMI) serve a similar purpose in that both measures can be used to classify individuals into the following categories: severely underweight, underweight, normal, overweight, and obese. The BMI measurement assumes the body is a two-dimensional square sheet and it measures weight per square unit of area, where as the Rohrer's Index assumes the body is a three-dimensional cube and measures weight per cubic unit of volume. The Rohrer's Index therefore takes into consideration one's width and girth unlike the BMI measurement, and assumes that width and girth are proportional to one's height. The index is identical with the Ponderal Index. Once calculated the Rohrer's Index measurement can be used for many purposes.
