In the two images below, the image on top shows a picture of the eyes of a woman and the image below it shows the same picture with the medial canthus digitally tilted (using Adobe photoshop). Bashour and Geist investigated whether slightly increasing the tilt of the medial canthus increases attractiveness(1).

The body mass index (BMI) is a measure of how much weight is carried with respect to height. It is computed by dividing the weight in kilograms by the square of the height in meters, i.e., its unit is kilograms per meter squared, though the unit is usually omitted. There are numerous BMI calculators (e.g., here) that people can use to figure out their BMI without doing any arithmetic.
