BMI Calculator for Wheelchair Users
This specialized BMI calculator accounts for muscle atrophy and body composition changes common in individuals with mobility limitations. Standard BMI calculations may not accurately reflect health status for wheelchair users.
Why Adjusted BMI Matters
- •Wheelchair users often have reduced muscle mass in affected limbs, which can skew standard BMI
- •Lower body paralysis leads to muscle atrophy, reducing overall body weight
- •Standard BMI may overestimate body fat percentage in individuals with disabilities
- •Adjusted calculations provide more accurate health assessments for medical planning
