1. Medical Disclaimer

The information and results provided by KineticMetrix are for general informational and educational purposes only. They do not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Our calculators use published scientific formulas to provide estimates based on the inputs you provide. These estimates are population-level approximations and may not accurately reflect your individual physiology, health status, or circumstances.

You should not use any information from this Site to:

  • Diagnose or treat any medical condition
  • Replace or delay seeking advice from a qualified healthcare professional
  • Make significant dietary, exercise, or medication changes without professional guidance

Always consult a qualified physician, registered dietitian, or other appropriate healthcare professional before making changes to your diet, exercise programme, or health regimen — especially if you have existing medical conditions or are taking medication.

2. Accuracy Disclaimer

We make every reasonable effort to ensure that the formulas implemented on this Site accurately reflect the published scientific sources cited. However, we do not guarantee that our calculators are free from error, nor do we warrant that any particular result is accurate for any specific individual.

Scientific understanding evolves. The formulas and reference ranges we use reflect the state of published research at the time each calculator was built. We aim to update calculators when significant new evidence changes established recommendations.

If you believe a formula or citation is incorrect, please contact us. We take accuracy seriously and will investigate and correct errors promptly.

3. Affiliate Disclosure

KineticMetrix is a participant in the Amazon Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.

Some calculator pages on this Site contain affiliate links to products on Amazon. These links are identified by the "View on Amazon →" label in the "Recommended Tools" section of relevant pages.

If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether or not you use our affiliate link.

Our editorial content — including calculator formulas, result interpretations, and blog articles — is not influenced by affiliate relationships. We do not recommend products based on affiliate compensation. Product suggestions in the "Recommended Tools" section are included because they are relevant to the calculator topic, not because of commission rates.

In compliance with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines (16 CFR Part 255) and equivalent regulations in other jurisdictions, we disclose this relationship clearly on every page that contains affiliate links.
