We claim: 1. A body mass related risk factor scale, comprising: a weight scale that measures and determines a person's weight; a height measuring device for determining the height of the person being weighed; a display unit for data input purposes, technical configuration and operation of the body mass related risk factor scale; a microprocessor for calculating, processing and organizing data associated with the body mass related risk factor scale; a color liquid crystal diode display for displaying data from the microprocessor; an internal battery for maintaining the time and date in the event of a power outage; a mini-printer to print data associated with the body mass related risk factor scale; a computer readable memory for storing a database, said database including first, second and third data sets, said first data set having at least one first color associated therewith, said at least one first color visually representing a measured body mass less than an ideal body mass range calculated by said microprocessor, said second data set having at least one second color associated therewith, said at least one second color visually representing a body mass falling within said ideal body mass range, said third data set having at least one third color associated therewith, said at least one third color visually representing a body mass greater than said ideal body mass range; client software to facilitate downloading data into a computerized system; and a reset button to reset the body mass related risk factor scale in case of malfunction, whereby said microprocessor compares the measured body mass with the first, second and third data sets to determine which of said at least one first color, at least one second color and at least one third color is displayed on said display unit to provide a visual indication of the person's overall health. 2. The scale according to claim 1, wherein, upon actuation of said weight scale, the person's weight is taken automatically, and the person must enter their age, gender, and height into the body mass related risk factor scale in order to determine their body mass related risk factor. 3. The scale according to claim 1, wherein the body mass related risk factor is further calculated as a numerical measure of the person's overall health. 4. The scale according to claim 1, wherein the height-measuring device is an adjustable horizontal measuring bar. 5. The scale according to claim 1, wherein the height-measuring device is a measuring tape. 6. The scale according to claim 1, wherein the display unit includes a real-time clock and calendar to indicate what time and date it is. 7. The scale according to claim 1, wherein the microprocessor is provided with read only memory. 8. The scale according to claim 1, wherein the microprocessor is provided with flash memory that retains data even after power has been turned off. 9. The scale according to claim 1, wherein the microprocessor is programmed with body mass indexes. 10. The scale according to claim 1, wherein a serial port and a USB2 port are provided for data transfer with similar ports found on a computer. 11. The scale according to claim 1, wherein a solid stand is set between the display unit and the weight scale. 12. The scale according to claim 1, wherein a flexible cord is used between the display unit and the weight scale.
