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 root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) from R-R interval data to assess parasympathetic nervous system activity and recovery status

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • R-R interval data — The r-r interval data recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the rmssd hrv calculator result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the R-R interval data for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) from R-R interval data to assess parasympathetic nervous system activity and recovery status. Use the rmssd hrv calculator result to inform your calculation.
