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

Assess neurological severity in Niemann-Pick Disease type C (NPC) using the NPC Severity Scale covering ambulation, manipulation, language, swallowing, and eye movement (VSGP) domains

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • NPC Severity Scale covering ambulation — The npc severity scale covering ambulation recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Manipulation — The manipulation recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Language — The language recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Swallowing — The swallowing recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Eye movement domains — The eye movement domains recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the npc severity score result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the NPC Severity Scale covering ambulation, manipulation, language, swallowing, eye movement domains for the scenario you are assessing. Assess neurological severity in Niemann-Pick Disease type C (NPC) using the NPC Severity Scale covering ambulation, manipulation, language, swallowing, and eye movement (VSGP) domains. Use the npc severity score result to inform your calculation.
