1. General Disclaimer

The information provided by BMI Calculator ("we," "us," or "our") on mybmicheck.com (the "Site") is for general informational and educational purposes only. All information on the Site is provided in good faith; however, we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, availability, or completeness of any information on the Site.

Under no circumstance shall we have any liability to you for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of the Site or reliance on any information provided on the Site. Your use of the Site and your reliance on any information on the Site is solely at your own risk.

2. Medical Disclaimer

BMI Calculator is designed to provide a general health screening tool based on widely used public health metrics. The results generated by this calculator and the health information presented on this website are for informational purposes only and should not be used to diagnose any health condition.

Specifically, we strongly advise that you:

• Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on this website.
• Do not use BMI results as a substitute for consultation with a licensed healthcare professional.
• Consult a doctor before starting any weight loss program, diet, or exercise regimen, especially if you have an existing health condition.
• Contact emergency services immediately (call 911 in the US) if you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency.

References to specific health organizations, studies, or clinical guidelines (such as CDC, WHO, or NIH standards) are provided for informational context only. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by any such organizations unless explicitly stated.

3. Limitations of BMI

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a screening tool that uses a simple height-to-weight ratio. While it is widely used by public health bodies including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), BMI has well-documented limitations that users must understand:

• It does not measure body fat directly. Two people with the same BMI can have very different body compositions.
• It may misclassify athletes and muscular individuals. High muscle mass can produce an elevated BMI even in very fit individuals.
• It may underestimate health risks in some older adults who have lost muscle mass but carry excess fat.
• Results may vary across ethnic groups. Research suggests that certain ethnic populations (e.g., South Asian, East Asian) may face increased health risks at lower BMI thresholds.
• It does not account for fat distribution. Central adiposity (abdominal fat) is associated with higher cardiovascular risk regardless of overall BMI.
• It is not appropriate for children without adjustment for age and sex. For individuals under 20, BMI must be assessed using CDC age- and sex-specific growth charts.
• It is not appropriate for pregnant women, bodybuilders, or individuals with certain medical conditions.

4. Accuracy & Errors

We strive to keep the information on this website current and accurate. However, we cannot guarantee that all content is free from errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. Health guidelines, clinical thresholds, and medical standards may change over time.

The BMI calculator on this website uses standard formulas recognized by public health authorities:

• Imperial: BMI = (weight in lbs ÷ height in inches²) × 703
• Metric: BMI = weight in kg ÷ height in meters²

Results are rounded to one decimal place. Minor discrepancies may occur due to rounding. The calculator requires accurate input data — results are only as reliable as the measurements provided. We are not responsible for errors resulting from incorrect data entered by the user.

If you discover any errors or outdated information, please contact us so we can review and correct it promptly.
