Patient is aged 18 or over
BMI calculation is part of routine monitoring or physical examination
Field | Purpose |
| Height and Weight | Core values used to calculate BMI |
| BMI (Auto-calculated) | Automatically derived from height and weight |
| BMI Interpretation | Optional notes or dropdowns to classify (e.g. underweight, normal, overweight, obese) |
📘 Some templates may include alerts or automated triggers when BMI exceeds target thresholds
Obesity can worsen asthma, diabetes, and blood pressure control
Low BMI may signal nutritional risk or frailty in older adults
Supports individualised care planning, referrals (e.g. dietitian), and patient education
🟣 Documenting BMI is often a contractual requirement in QOF and LES indicators
“Have you noticed any weight changes over the last year?”
“Would it help to discuss how weight may be affecting your condition?”
“Are you interested in any support with diet or activity?”
