Another response from Tom Pullum:

V445 is actually the BMI multiplied by 100. Sorry for ignoring that factor. Most of the anthropometry numbers in the data file have a factor of some power of 10. You need to divide by 100 to get the BMI. The units of measurement are as I described them, weight / height squared, with weight in kilograms and height in meters.
