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

Determine hypertension stage, drug class recommendation, and BP target based on ACC/AHA 2017 guidelines. Accounts for comorbidities (diabetes, CKD, CAD, heart failure)

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • ACC/AHA 2017 guidelines — The acc/aha 2017 guidelines recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the hypertension treatment result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the ACC/AHA 2017 guidelines for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Determine hypertension stage, drug class recommendation, and BP target based on ACC/AHA 2017 guidelines. Accounts for comorbidities (diabetes, CKD, CAD, heart failure). Use the hypertension treatment result to inform your clinical assessment.
