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

Assess iodine fortification program adequacy using urinary iodine concentration and household iodized salt coverage metrics

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Urinary iodine concentration — The urinary iodine concentration recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Household iodized salt coverage metrics — The household iodized salt coverage metrics recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the iodine fortification coverage result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the urinary iodine concentration, household iodized salt coverage metrics for the scenario you are assessing. Assess iodine fortification program adequacy using urinary iodine concentration and household iodized salt coverage metrics. Use the iodine fortification coverage result to inform your calculation.
