FIT Test Frequency for Colorectal Cancer Screening

Fecal immunochemical test (FIT) performed annually is an accepted non-invasive colorectal cancer screening strategy. One positive FIT requires follow-up colonoscopy within 3-6 months regardless of prior negative tests.

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.
