About health & fitness calculators
Health calculators are a paradox: the arithmetic is trivial, but misreading the output causes real harm. A BMI of 27 doesn't mean "you're unhealthy" โ it means "in population studies, this range correlates with higher risk, but the correlation breaks down for athletes, elderly adults, and specific ethnic groups." Our health calculators show the number and the nuance in the same view, with a band interpretation reviewed by a medical editor.
Frequently asked questions
Should I make health decisions based on these?
No โ and we say so on every calculator. These are screening tools for context, not a substitute for a clinical consultation. We link to authoritative sources (WHO, CDC, NIH) on each calculator.
Why do some calculators show multiple formulas?
Health math often has competing standards โ Mifflin-St Jeor vs. Harris-Benedict for BMR, for example. Where the field hasn't converged, we show both and explain when each is preferred.
