Verification Methodology for Health Tools
All health calculators are evaluated against global peer-reviewed clinical guidelines, specifically:
- Dual-Standard BMI: Reconciliation against both the World Health Organization (WHO) international classification and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) consensus cutoffs for Asian populations.
- Metabolic Formulas: Verification of Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) calculations using the clinically validated Mifflin-St Jeor equation over legacy Harris-Benedict formulas.
- Safety Warnings: Strict enforcement of minimum caloric thresholds (1,200 kcal/day for females, 1,500 kcal/day for males) to protect users from unmonitored starvation diets.
