The officials SI units are meters for length and kg for mass so why is the formula written as weight(kg)/height(m). Would save you both the "×100" and it would use correct SI units. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.190.89.172 (talk) 04:05, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The only only thing I can imagine for that, and its just my guess, is that Rohrer used dekagrams and centimeters. The ponderal index page itself has a bizarre array of definitions with cm, g, etc. I agree that that kg/m3 and its imperial equivalent are the only ones that make sense now, other than perhaps a historical note about other units being used.
