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 blood pressure reduction from sodium restriction based on baseline sodium intake, current blood pressure, and salt sensitivity status

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Sodium restriction based on baseline sodium intake — The sodium restriction based on baseline sodium intake recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Current blood pressure — The current blood pressure recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Salt sensitivity status — The salt sensitivity status recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the sodium reduction bp benefit result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the sodium restriction based on baseline sodium intake, current blood pressure, salt sensitivity status for the scenario you are assessing. Estimate blood pressure reduction from sodium restriction based on baseline sodium intake, current blood pressure, and salt sensitivity status. Use the sodium reduction bp benefit result to inform your calculation.
