      abstract     = {Objective: This paper aims at optimal metrology for
                      defining healthy weights in humans using weight-height
                      ratios. Study Design: Normal appearing Caucasian males and
                      females of any age and height were stochastically selected
                      individually and grouped into cohorts of gender, different
                      heights and ages, in order to apply rigorous statistical
                      analyses, using the least squares method of Gauss. Methods:
                      246 Caucasian males and 258 Caucasian females of
                      “normal” appearance represent an unbiased stochastically
                      selected cohort sufficiently large to analyse statistically
                      individual and cohort values for Body-Mass-Index, kg/m2, and
                      Body-Shape-Index, kg/m3, relating to gender, height, and
                      age. Results: For Caucasians taller than ~1.2m the BMI is
                      largely inferior to the BSI. In adults, the single average
                      normal weight BSI value is 12.54 for males and 12.36 for
                      females, with standard deviations of 1.67 and 1.95,
                      respectively. For children smaller than ~1.2m the BMI is
                      superior showing at normal weight an average value of ~16.0
                      for males and ~15.2 for females, with standard deviations of
                      1.70 for males and 1.66 for females. The difference between
                      BMI and BSI applicability lies in the proportionality of
                      body shapes changing with growth from childhood to adults.},
