This class can be used to compute several biometric indexes based on medical formulas.
It takes at least the person height and weight as parameters to compute:
- Body Mass Index (BMI) and limit weights
- Ideal Body Weight (4 methods)
- Lean Body Mass (2 methods)
- Calculation of Total Water (2 methods)

These computed index values are stored in class variables.
