BMI alternative

Does anyone know an alternative to body mass index that doesn't break down with more fit/muscular persons? It would have to be workable to fit in a survey format (so, no fat-free mass index or anything that requires skinfold or bodyfat measurements).

Thanks!

I've seen some facilities/practitioners use "Ideal Body Weight". Here is a site that has a few variations for IBW: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/devine.htm

I'm most familiar with the original formula, though the variations seem a bit more realistic.

I've seen IBW used in ED literature as well.
