About BMI Checks

What is BMI Checks?

BMI Checks is a free online health utility that helps adults quickly calculate their Body Mass Index using either metric or US units. The site provides the BMI number, the adult screening category, and an approximate healthy weight range, alongside plain-language educational content explaining what BMI means, how it is calculated, and where it has limitations.

The goal is simple: give people a reliable, fast, and accessible tool that respects their privacy, works on any device, and presents health information responsibly — without overstating what a single calculation can tell you.

Who runs this site?

BMI Checks is owned and managed by Ricardo Diaz, an independent web developer based in the United Kingdom. The site is built with Next.js and hosted on Netlify. There is no team of medical staff behind this site — it is an independent utility project, and all health content is written to reflect widely accepted public health guidance from organisations such as the WHO, CDC, and NHS.

How content is written and reviewed

All educational content on BMI Checks is written originally by the site owner and cross-referenced against publicly available guidance from authoritative health bodies, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the UK National Health Service (NHS).

No content on this site is generated by AI and published without human review. Pages are checked for factual accuracy before publication. When public health guidance changes, the relevant pages are updated to reflect the current consensus.

BMI Checks does not employ clinical staff and cannot provide personalised medical advice. Every page includes a clear disclaimer directing users to consult a qualified healthcare provider for personal health concerns.

Update schedule

The BMI calculator tool is reviewed and tested regularly to ensure calculations remain accurate. Educational content is reviewed at least once per year or whenever significant changes to public health guidance are published by major health authorities. The last full content review was completed in April 2025.
