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 dietary omega-3 to omega-6 ratio from food intake and estimate anti-inflammatory potential versus pro-inflammatory eicosanoid production

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Food intake — The food intake recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Estimate anti-inflammatory potential versus pro-inflammatory eicosanoid production — The estimate anti-inflammatory potential versus pro-inflammatory eicosanoid production recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the omega-3/omega-6 ratio result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the food intake, estimate anti-inflammatory potential versus pro-inflammatory eicosanoid production for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate dietary omega-3 to omega-6 ratio from food intake and estimate anti-inflammatory potential versus pro-inflammatory eicosanoid production. Use the omega-3/omega-6 ratio result to inform your calculation.
