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.

  • Sleep latency — The sleep latency recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Sleep duration — The sleep duration recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Habitual sleep efficiency — The habitual sleep efficiency recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Sleep disturbances — The sleep disturbances recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Use of sleeping medication — The use of sleeping medication recorded for the scenario being assessed.
