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 nutrient repletion needs for iron, omega-3, vitamin D, choline, and iodine in the postpartum period based on blood loss, breastfeeding status, and depletion risk

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Blood loss — The blood loss recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Breastfeeding status — The breastfeeding status recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Depletion risk — The depletion risk recorded for the scenario being assessed.

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

How to Use

Enter the blood loss, breastfeeding status, depletion risk for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate nutrient repletion needs for iron, omega-3, vitamin D, choline, and iodine in the postpartum period based on blood loss, breastfeeding status, and depletion risk. Use the postpartum nutrients result to inform your calculation.
