The calculator uses the formula and thresholds described in the Wikipedia article for adults.

Please remember that BMI is just a number to give you an idea if your weight may be unhealthy. It doesn't tell the whole story, and I only made this thing because I wanted to see how you can draw plots without using libraries. I highly reccommend reading the wikipedia article linked above, as it has some really interesting points around the limitations of BMI.

I had never heard of the Corpulence index, which seems to be a much better measure since it scales by height cubed like you'd expect for people living in three dimensions. Maybe this page shows a curpulence index calculator the next time you visit?
