What you should know about the results of the Smart BMI Calculator

What the calculator knows about you

Your height, weight, age and sex, probably your target weight and some of your dieting habits. The calculator runs on your own device. Good to know: nothing you enter into the calculator, and none of the results it gives you, is stored on this website.

What the calculator does not know

Whether you are a real person or have just entered some data out of curiosity. Your physical and mental health condition. Your genetic constitution. Your amounts of body fat, muscle and other fat-free mass. Your intake of calories, sugar, fat, salt, processed meat, fruit, vegetables, vitamins, minerals, supplements and other relevant nutrition data. Your consumption of alcohol, tobacco and drugs. The history of your diseases. Whether you have been in hospital or examined by a doctor recently, or at some earlier time in your life. Your physical activities and your level of fitness.

Whether you have used other BMI calculators before and how you rate your weight, i.e. as normal, too high or too low. How much you like or dislike your body.

BMI, sex, age and “health risk”

Everything you can learn on this site about a possible effect of your weight on your health is derived from three pieces of information: body mass index, sex and age. Many other details, unknown but potentially even more important, are not taken into account. That is why we do not speak of “health risk”, but instead give a recommendation, graded according to the result, to discuss questions about your weight with a qualified professional if necessary (and only then).

If you are receiving treatment, healthcare professionals can discuss BMI and this model’s classification alongside your medical history and other findings. This calculator does not determine individual health risks and does not replace clinical assessment.

No liability

You interpret the calculation results on your own responsibility. If you subsequently change your behaviour, the owner of the Smart BMI calculator cannot be held responsible for any negative consequences.
