Clinical Accuracy
This calculator uses formulas from peer-reviewed medical literature. For BMI-related metrics, we apply WHO and Asian-specific cutoffs. For metabolic calculations, we use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation (considered most accurate). For heart rate calculations, the Karvonen method is applied. Despite high accuracy, these are screening tools — not medical diagnoses.
