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

Estimate cumulative cardiovascular benefit from sauna frequency and duration based on Finnish cohort epidemiological data linking sauna use to mortality reduction

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Sauna frequency — The sauna frequency recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Duration based on Finnish cohort epidemiological data linking sauna use — The duration based on finnish cohort epidemiological data linking sauna use recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the sauna cardiovascular benefit result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the sauna frequency, duration based on Finnish cohort epidemiological data linking sauna use for the scenario you are assessing. Estimate cumulative cardiovascular benefit from sauna frequency and duration based on Finnish cohort epidemiological data linking sauna use to mortality reduction. Use the sauna cardiovascular benefit result to inform your calculation.
