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 health risks from sedentary behavior based on daily sitting hours, light activity breaks, sleep duration, and occupational vs leisure sitting patterns

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Sedentary behavior based on daily sitting hours — The sedentary behavior based on daily sitting hours recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Light activity breaks — The light activity breaks recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Sleep duration — The sleep duration recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Occupational vs leisure sitting patterns — The occupational vs leisure sitting patterns recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the sedentary risk score result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the sedentary behavior based on daily sitting hours, light activity breaks, sleep duration, occupational vs leisure sitting patterns for the scenario you are assessing. Estimate health risks from sedentary behavior based on daily sitting hours, light activity breaks, sleep duration, and occupational vs leisure sitting patterns. Use the sedentary risk score result to inform your calculation.
