Health Vitals Checkup

Your body, by the numbers

How this checkup works

BMI uses the standard weight-and-height formula against CDC categories; waist-to-height ratio against the widely used 0.5 threshold; body fat is estimated from BMI, age and sex (Deurenberg) against general ACE ranges; and activity against the CDC/WHO guideline of 150 minutes of moderate activity a week. These are general references and not a diagnosis — talk to a clinician about your health.

Frequently asked questions

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

No — BMI doesn't distinguish muscle from fat and can mislead for athletes, older adults and some groups. That's why we show it alongside waist-to-height and body fat, and none of it replaces a clinician.

What's the waist-to-height guideline?

Keeping your waist under half your height (a ratio below 0.5) is a simple, well-supported marker. It's a screen, not a diagnosis.
