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 statin benefit-to-harm ratio using NNT for cardiovascular prevention versus NNH for myopathy, diabetes, and other adverse effects

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • NNT — The nnt recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the statin nnt vs harm result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the NNT for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate statin benefit-to-harm ratio using NNT for cardiovascular prevention versus NNH for myopathy, diabetes, and other adverse effects. Use the statin nnt vs harm result to inform your calculation.
