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 therapeutic iron supplementation dose and duration for sports-related iron deficiency anemia based on ferritin level, Hgb, and athletic training load

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Ferritin level — The ferritin level recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Hgb — The hgb recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Athletic training load — The athletic training load recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the sports anemia iron dose result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the ferritin level, Hgb, athletic training load for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate therapeutic iron supplementation dose and duration for sports-related iron deficiency anemia based on ferritin level, Hgb, and athletic training load. Use the sports anemia iron dose result to inform your calculation.
