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

Record the Physician Global Assessment (PGA) of disease activity on a visual analogue or Likert scale, used across rheumatology, dermatology, and gastroenterology to capture overall clinical impression

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Rheumatology — The rheumatology recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Dermatology — The dermatology recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Gastroenterology — The gastroenterology recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the pga result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the rheumatology, dermatology, gastroenterology for the scenario you are assessing. Record the Physician Global Assessment (PGA) of disease activity on a visual analogue or Likert scale, used across rheumatology, dermatology, and gastroenterology to capture overall clinical impression. Use the pga result to inform your calculation.
