Table 1. Reading level for body mass index, blood pressure, eGFR, and calcium score.
| Health biomarkers | Reading level (Severity level) | Researchers | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Body Mass Index (BMI) (in kg/m2) |
less than 18.5 (at risk) |
18.5 to 24.9 (normal) |
25 to 29.9 (moderate risk) |
greater than 30 (high risk) |
(Fontana & Hu, 2014; Walpole et al., 2012) | |
| Blood Pressure (Systolic) (in mmHg) |
less than 120 (at risk) |
120 to 130 (normal) |
130 to 139 (moderate risk) |
greater than 140 (high risk) | (Rahman, Chia & Yusoff, 2011) | |
| Blood Pressure (Diastolic) (in mmHg) |
less than 80 (at risk) |
80 to 84 (normal) | 85 to 89 (moderate risk) | greater than 90 (high risk) |
(Rahman, Chia & Yusoff, 2011) | |
| eGFR ml/min/1.73m2 |
90 Stage 1 (normal) |
60 to 89 Stage 2 (low risk) |
30 to 59 Stage 3 (moderate risk) |
15 to 29 Stage 4 (moderately high risk) |
<15 Stage 5 (high risk) |
(Rastogi, Linden & Nissenson, 2008) |
| CTCA Calcium Score | 0 (no risk) |
less than 100 (low risk) |
101 to 400 (moderately high risk) | > 400 (high risk) |
