Medical Disclaimer

Not medical advice

The calculators, scores, articles, and other materials provided on HealthyLifeStyles (collectively, the "Content") are intended to support general wellness and understanding. They do not constitute medical advice and should never be used as a replacement for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.

Estimates, not diagnoses

Our tools produce estimates based on general, population-level formulas and the information you provide. Individual health is influenced by many factors — genetics, medical history, medications, and more — that a simple calculator cannot account for. A result from any tool on this site:

• Is not a diagnosis of any condition;
• Cannot confirm or rule out any disease or health risk;
• Should not be used to start, stop, or change any treatment or medication.

Always consult a professional

Always seek the advice of your physician or another qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have about a medical condition, your diet, exercise, or before making any changes to your health routine. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read or calculated on this site.

Risk and screening tools

Some tools provide educational "risk" estimates (for example, related to lifestyle factors). These are awareness aids only. A low estimate does not guarantee good health, and a high estimate does not mean you have or will develop a condition. Only a healthcare professional can properly assess your risk.

Pregnancy, children, and medical conditions

Tools related to pregnancy, fertility, body weight, or nutrition are general guides only. If you are pregnant, nursing, managing a chronic condition, or caring for a child, please consult a healthcare professional before relying on any result.

No liability

HealthyLifeStyles and its operators are not liable for any action taken, or not taken, based on the Content. Your use of the Service is entirely at your own risk. For more, see our Terms of Service.

In an emergency

Do not use this website in a medical emergency. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
