They told me they are working on it and I am on an email list to be notified when it is available for download for PPC. Sounded like it would be the near future. Just an FYI. Checked out the other website mentionend in the other reply but the classifications don't fit with the new NHLBI guidelines.
check out http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov and go to Obesity Education Initiative section.

Please post when NHLBI updates for ppc. The freeware program cited requires height, wt, gender,and waist circumference, so 4 items have to be entered for a 2 variable equation. Too cumbersome.
