v. t. e. Body mass index ( BMI) is a value derived from the mass ( weight) and height of a person. The BMI is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height, and is expressed in units of kg/m 2, resulting from mass in kilograms (kg) and height in metres (m). The BMI may be determined first by measuring its components by means ...
t. e. A person's waist-to-height ratio ( WtHR ), occasionally written WtHR or called waist-to-stature ratio ( WSR ), is defined as their waist circumference divided by their height, both measured in the same units. It is used as a predictor of obesity-related cardiovascular disease. The WHtR is a measure of the distribution of body fat.

Horizontal pitch (HP) is a unit of length defined by the Eurocard printed circuit board standard used to measure the horizontal width of rack mounted electronic equipment, similar to the rack unit (U) used to measure vertical heights of rack mounted equipment. One HP is 0.2 inches (1/5") or 5.08 millimetres wide.
Electronic calipers can measure diameter at breast height and send measured data via Bluetooth to a field computer. Tree trunks are measured at the height of an adult's breast, which is defined differently in different countries and situations. In many countries, DBH is measured at approximately 1.3 m (4.3 ft) above ground. [1] [2]
