โš–๏ธ BMI for Adults

This shared component enables clinicians to record adult Body Mass Index (BMI) during structured reviews. It helps identify weight-related factors that may influence chronic condition management, including asthma, diabetes, and cardiovascular risk.

๐Ÿงญ When Will I See This?

  • Patient is aged 18 or over

  • BMI calculation is part of routine monitoring or physical examination

Purpose
Height and WeightCore values used to calculate BMI

๐Ÿ“˜ Some templates may include alerts or automated triggers when BMI exceeds target thresholds

๐Ÿง  Why This Matters

  • 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

๐ŸŸฃ Documenting BMI is often a contractual requirement in QOF and LES indicators

๐Ÿ’ฌ Suggested Questions to Ask

  • โ€œHave you noticed any weight changes over the last year?โ€

  • โ€œWould it help to discuss how weight may be affecting your condition?โ€

  • โ€œAre you interested in any support with diet or activity?โ€
