Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculate 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk using the ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations for statin therapy initiation decisions

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations — The acc/aha pooled cohort equations recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the ascvd pce risk result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk using the ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations for statin therapy initiation decisions. Use the ascvd pce risk result to inform your calculation.
