Subject: [Cnm] BMI for people with amputations

As it is now important that BMI's are accurately documented, are other
people calculating a BMI for people with amputations? And if so, how are
you going about doing so? It doesn't seem like the results would be very
accurate to me but I'm looking for guidance.
Thank you!
