Disclaimer

Last updated: July 2026. This Disclaimer applies to every calculator, reference table, formula explanation, and article on the VivMetric website. By accessing or using VivMetric, you agree that you have read, understood, and accepted the limitations and disclaimers set out below.

Educational Purposes Only

VivMetric is an educational reference platform. Every calculator, every reference table, and every article is published solely for general informational and educational purposes. The content on this site is not intended to serve as — and does not serve as — a substitute for professional medical advice, professional diagnosis, professional treatment, or professional judgment of any kind. Visitors should not treat any numerical output, any categorical label, any reference range, or any article statement as medical guidance of any form.

VivMetric publishes mathematical computations and public reference values only. The platform does not interpret individual results, does not correlate results with specific medical conditions, and does not offer any opinion on the significance of any output for any individual visitor. Any use of VivMetric content is at the visitor's sole risk and responsibility.

Not Medical Advice

No content on VivMetric constitutes medical advice, professional healthcare guidance, or a medical opinion. The site does not and cannot provide a diagnosis of any disease, disorder, condition, syndrome, impairment, or risk state in any individual visitor. No calculator result, reference range match, categorical label, or article statement should be construed as indicating the presence or absence of a medical problem.

The site does not recommend or suggest any specific medication, dosage, supplement, nutrient, dietary regimen, exercise program, surgical procedure, therapy, diagnostic test, screening, or treatment protocol. Individuals who are experiencing symptoms, who have a known or suspected medical condition, who are pregnant or planning pregnancy, who are taking medications, or who have any health concern whatsoever must consult a licensed physician, nurse practitioner, physician associate, registered dietitian nutritionist, or other appropriately qualified healthcare professional before making any health-related decision.

Not Diagnosis or Treatment

VivMetric does not perform any function that could be characterized as diagnosis or treatment. The platform does not:

• Identify, detect, or confirm the presence of any disease, disorder, or medical condition;
• Recommend or prescribe any course of treatment, medication, or intervention;
• Interpret any calculated value as indicative of a specific health outcome or disease state;
• Provide a second opinion or substitute for a clinical evaluation;
• Offer triage, emergency, or urgent care guidance of any kind.

If you or someone you know may be experiencing a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately or go to the nearest emergency room. Do not rely on any content on VivMetric for urgent or emergency medical needs.

Consult Your Healthcare Provider

All visitors to VivMetric are strongly encouraged to consult a qualified healthcare professional for any medical concern, question, or decision. This includes but is not limited to:

• Questions about the interpretation of any calculator result;
• Concerns about whether a specific metric indicates a health problem;
• Decisions about weight management, nutrition, exercise, or lifestyle changes;
• Questions about medication, supplements, or their interactions;
• Any other health-related decision that may affect your well-being.

If you are a patient with a chronic condition, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you are taking any prescription medication, or if you have any known allergy or sensitivity, it is especially important that you consult your healthcare provider before relying on any information published on this site.

No Warranty on Accuracy

The VivMetric website and all of its calculators, tables, and articles are provided on an "AS is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or at common law. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, VivMetric disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, reliability, non-infringement, absence of latent or patent defects, title, quiet enjoyment, and compatibility with any particular device, browser, or operating system.

VivMetric does not warrant that:

• Any calculator will be uninterrupted, error-free, virus-free, or available at any particular time;
• Any reference data will be current, complete, or accurate;
• Any formula output will match the output produced by any other implementation of the same formula;
• Any defects will be corrected;
• The site is free of bugs, errors, or omissions.

Formula Limitations

Every formula implemented on VivMetric is a population-level mathematical model, and all such models carry inherent limitations. Population-level formulas such as BMI, Mifflin-St Jeor BMR, BMI-based body fat estimation, and MET-based calorie expenditure are validated across large groups but cannot capture the full variability of individual biology. Factors including but not limited to individual genetic variation, hormonal status, medical history, pharmaceutical interference, renal function, hepatic function, body composition distribution, bone mineral density, menstrual status, altitude, climate, and recent caloric or exercise history are not inputs to the formulas and therefore cannot be reflected in any output.

YMYL Compliance

VivMetric content falls within the "Your Money or Your Life" (YMYL) category as defined by major search engine quality guidelines, because health calculations have the potential to impact visitor welfare. To maintain strict YMYL compliance, VivMetric operates under the following safeguards:

• No page asserts medical expertise;
• All pages explicitly disclaim medical advice;
• All formulas are attributed to named public health authorities;
• No page provides treatment or intervention guidance;
• Every page includes the fixed standard disclaimer directing visitors to a qualified healthcare professional.
