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

Calculate protein intake and distribution needed to prevent age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) based on age, weight, and physical activity level

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Age — The age recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Weight — The weight recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Physical activity level — The physical activity level recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the sarcopenia prevention protein result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the age, weight, physical activity level for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate protein intake and distribution needed to prevent age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) based on age, weight, and physical activity level. Use the sarcopenia prevention protein result to inform your calculation.
