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.

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Burch-Wartofsky criteria: temperature — The burch-wartofsky criteria: temperature recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • CNS effects — The cns effects recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Cardiovascular — The cardiovascular recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • GI/hepatic — The gi/hepatic recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Precipitant — The precipitant recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the burch-wartofsky result against the thresholds and context described above.
