1. Not Professional Medical Advice
Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, diet, fitness regimen, or weight management plan. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read or calculated on this Website.
2. Accuracy of Calculators & Formulas
The calculators provided on this website (including BMI, BMR, Body Fat Percentage, Child Growth Charts, and Ideal Body Weight) utilize standard mathematical formulas widely accepted in the clinical community (such as those from the World Health Organization, Indian Council of Medical Research, and the Mifflin-St Jeor equation).
However, these formulas have inherent limitations. They are generalized mathematical estimates and cannot account for individual biological differences, including but not limited to:
- Bone density and frame size
- Muscle mass versus fat mass distributions
- Underlying metabolic or endocrine disorders (e.g., Hypothyroidism)
- Pregnancy or lactation
- Age-specific developmental nuances (outside of our dedicated pediatric tools)
3. No Doctor-Patient Relationship
Your use of bmicalc.in and any of its calculators or tools does not establish a doctor-patient relationship between you and bmicalc.in or any of its authors/developers. The information generated by our tools should serve merely as a baseline for a conversation with your healthcare provider.
