Frequently Asked Questions

Does it use age-and-gender percentiles?

No — this tool reuses the standard adult bands (under 18.5 / 25 / 30) from height and weight only, with no age or gender inputs. A child's reading is not a percentile; treat it as informational screening and see a pediatrician for growth-chart context.

What inputs does it need?

Height and weight only, in metric (cm/kg) or imperial (ft-in/lbs) — the tool converts between units and shows the healthy weight range for the entered height. A 140 cm child shows a 36.3–48.8 kg healthy range (18.5–24.9 × height²). Measure height barefoot against a wall.

Should a parent act on this number alone?

No — informational screening only. Concerning percentiles deserve a pediatrician visit with growth-chart history, not a single online number.

Is health data uploaded?

No — computation runs locally in your browser. Health data never leaves your device.
