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

Quantify fall risk reduction from balance and functional training programs in older adults and calculate number needed to treat

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Balance — The balance recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Functional training programs in older adults — The functional training programs in older adults recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Calculate number needed — The calculate number needed recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the balance training fall risk result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use
