- Scale-IT.com Gary Chesnutis, 360.254.4211 gchesnutis@intelligent-tech.com Scale-IT.com, the world's largest web store dedicated to bariatric scales, has added an expanded range BMI chart to its product line. The new, $7.95 extended range chart now provides health care professionals and consumers with a direct readout of BMI values for 99.99% of the adult population.

"Everybody knows that Americans keep getting

bigger," notes Timothy C. Barry, President and CEO of ITI Web Stores. "Every day we see articles and news stories about it. And yet, if you need a BMI chart for very large or very tall people, your options are quite limited. Our new Scale-IT.com extended range BMI chart offers the widest range of BMI values available anywhere."

While an ideal tool for medical and other health care professionals, this new BMI chart is a useful aid to larger and taller consumers looking to determine their overall health via accurate BMI values.

BMI Values Up To 60

The Scale-IT.com(TM) extended range BMI chart adheres to the National Institute of Health (NIH) guidelines and provides values for heights from 5'0" to 7'2", weights from 92 to 631 pounds and BMI indexes from 19 to 60 (most charts stop at BMI values of 30-35). To use, the health provider just weighs and measures the patient's height then simply uses the chart to quickly look up the corresponding BMI value. (Click HERE to see the entire release.)
