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

Estimate short-chain fatty acid (butyrate, propionate, acetate) production from dietary fiber fermentation by gut microbiota

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Dietary fiber fermentation by gut microbiota — The dietary fiber fermentation by gut microbiota recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the gut scfa production result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the dietary fiber fermentation by gut microbiota for the scenario you are assessing. Estimate short-chain fatty acid (butyrate, propionate, acetate) production from dietary fiber fermentation by gut microbiota. Use the gut scfa production result to inform your calculation.
