Dear Ali:
Not quite knowing, but assuming that the BMI in the pounds-feet-inches cultures is expressed in SI units, you may try the attached using American feet, inches, pounds to get a BMI in kg/m^2.

I am having trouble calculating BMI in Epidata. Height is measured in feet (separate) and inches (separate). I tried to create a new variable (BMI), which it did, but it is labelled as "Float," and unusable. Please help!
