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 transplant listing candidacy from peak VO2. Beta-blocked patients: VO2 <12 mL/kg/min; not beta-blocked: VO2 <14 mL/kg/min

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Peak VO2 — The peak vo2 recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the transplant listing vo2 result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the peak VO2 for the scenario you are assessing. Determine transplant listing candidacy from peak VO2. Beta-blocked patients: VO2 <12 mL/kg/min; not beta-blocked: VO2 <14 mL/kg/min. Use the transplant listing vo2 result to inform your calculation.
