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

Score DBS candidacy for Parkinson's disease from levodopa response, cognition, age, tremor dominance, and motor complication severity

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Levodopa response — The levodopa response recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Cognition — The cognition recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Age — The age recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Tremor dominance — The tremor dominance recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Motor complication severity — The motor complication severity recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the dbs candidacy result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the levodopa response, cognition, age, tremor dominance, motor complication severity for the scenario you are assessing. Score DBS candidacy for Parkinson's disease from levodopa response, cognition, age, tremor dominance, and motor complication severity. Use the dbs candidacy result to inform your calculation.
